Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, co-founders of YouTube, just launched a new video-sharing app called MixBit. The app launched early this morning so we haven't had a chance to take it for much of a spin but here's what we know so far.
MixBit, which is iOS only for now (Android users should get their own version sometime soon), can record individual video clips up to 16 seconds. Yeah, we know ... Yawn, right?
But, as its name implies, MixBit lets you mix up to 256 video clips (yours or others' in the not-yet-active (as of early this morning MixBit community). Clips can be combined, edited and re-ordered and a series of colored bars track how many clips have been added. Although each element of the video is stored separately, it is presented as a single stream, with a minimum length of 1 second to a maximum of one hour. Video creations can be shared with the MixBit community, directly to Facebook, Twitter or via email.
The app requires iOS 6.0 or later and can be downloaded for free.

Lomography's LomoChrome '92 is designed to mimic the look of classic drugstore film that used to fill family photo albums. As we discovered, to shoot with it is to embrace the unexpected, from strange color shifts to odd textures and oversized grain.
The LowePro PhotoSport Outdoor is a camera pack for photographers who also need a well-designed daypack for hiking and other outdoor use. If that sounds like you, the PhotoSport Outdoor may be a great choice, but as with any hybrid product, there are a few tradeoffs.
The Sony a7C II refreshes the compact full-frame with a 33MP sensor, the addition of a front control dial, a dedicated 'AI' processor, 10-bit 4K/60p video and more. It's a definite improvement, but it helps if you value its compact form.
Why is the Peak Design Everyday Backpack so widely used? A snazzy design? Exceptional utility? A combination of both? After testing one, it's clear why this bag deserves every accolade it's received.
