The guys at Google do not stop launching new applications to the market, applications that come from their application incubator called Area 120, an incubator in which Google employees can allocate 20% of the working day to own projects. For some time now we have seen how video is the target of interest for all platforms, especially social networks. Facebook and Twitter offer different platforms where we can find a large number of videos, but none of them is capable of even approaching the level that YouTube offers us. To further enhance the video platform and, incidentally, try to find the right way to have its own successful social network, Google has launched Uptime.
Uptime is a kind of social network where users can share their favorite videos to be able to see them together with your friends or followers and comment on them through text messages, stickers, reactions ... Through Uptime we can follow our friends, family or simply other people to enjoy the same videos. Every time one of our friends starts to watch a video, we will receive a notification where the progress of the visualization will be shown so that we can join and comment on it. From the application itself we can add the videos that we want to comment on without having to leave it at any time.
As we can read in the description of the application:
Uptime is a place to share and watch videos together with friends, no matter where they are. Share your YouTube videos in a simple way and give your friends the opportunity to watch them together, chat and have a good time.
At the moment this application is only available in the United States and exclusively for iOS, but you won't be able to use it immediately. If we want to use it, we must enter the invitation code PIZZA, to activate the operation of the app and begin to comment and share our favorite YouTube videos. If you live in the United States and want to try this application, you can do it at this link.
