The short online video industry is very saturated, but Bloop It is attempting to find room for one more. The new app lets users cut YouTube videos down to 20 seconds, trimming them to an appropriate length for social sharing.
Bloop It is intended for those pesky YouTube videos that take too long before getting to the good stuff. The app removes that unnecessary filler by allowing users to set a start and end time before sharing on whichever social networks they deem appropriate.
It should be noted that Bloop It is not the first app
to offer this function, but a demo posted on YouTube reveals how easy the app is to use:The driving force behind Bloop It–a desire for videos suiting short attention spans–is a very relevant one. The app doesn’t offer much, but by providing what seems to be a clean and simple interface, it provides another nice tool for YouTube viewers. You can pick it up from the App Store here.
