It

services that come with it. There are thousands upon thousands of mobile apps to download and lots of social networking sites have even taken their audience mobile to engage with others.

What Is Keek?
Put simply, Keek is Twitter for video sharing. Instead of using words
and text to make a “tweet,” you use your webcam or the camera on your
phone to make a short video, called a “keek.” You could even compare
this service to a micro version of YouTube, because videos must be kept
short on Keek.com.
You can connect with your friends, share funny videos, ask questions, reply back to other videos using “keekbacks” and so much more. All keek videos are embeddable, so you can share them on other major social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
