#FollowMe video service by Twitter!

Twitter has launched a new tool (Powered by Vizify), where users can create shareable videos that also include soundtracks from a wide range (1 million songs by Rublefish!) available and that way display/promote/present their 'social footprint — top tweets, photos and followers'.

Its very simple to use - start by granting Vizify third-party app access. You will then be redirected to their site from where you can edit the available customized video by adding music and images to it, or editing the scenes. As Vizify CEO Todd Silverstein states, "Unlike Vine, there's no time limit, so go wild."

Lights, camera, Twitter.

On Thursday, the microblogging service launched a new tool that allows users to instantly create shareable movies depicting their social footprint — top tweets, photos and followers. The videos will include a large selection of licensed soundtracks from a catalog of over one million songs, thanks to a partnership with Rumblefish.

Twitter is billing the venture, dubbed #FollowMe, as a new way to express individual tweet style. (Plus, it's fun to play around with.)

The campaign is powered by Vizify, the Portland startup that teamed up with Twitter six months ago for the "Your year on Twitter" project. Today's move is an maturation of that project, explains Vizify CEO Todd Silverstein. His company pulls social media stats into an interactive experience that he describes as "about.me on steroids." The site's HTML5 capability allows the videos to play on just about any mobile device.

"We see ourselves as helping to communicate online what it is that's special about you," Silverstein said, using the weight of tweets to tell unique stories about people. "Vizify analyzes, organizes and digitizes the words you talk about most on Twitter."

To get started, simply grant Vizify third-party app access. Then, you'll be redirected to the Vizify site, where you'll find a customized video. Feel free to edit the music and pictures — and even add or cut scenes. Unlike Vine, there's no time limit, so go wild.

#FollowMe soft-launched on Wednesday evening when basketball star Stephen Curry tweeted out his Vizify as part of the NBA's social media awards.

Watch out for even more ways to create videos on Twitter, like a launch button right on your profile, Silverstein suggested.
