Video making and editing is no longer a thing that technical people did. With the availability of various apps besides the trending Vine and Instagram, video making, editing and sharing has become all that easy.

In this tough established terrain, YouTube's founders - Steve Chen and Chad Hurley's company AVOS Systems has come up with an iPhone app that allows users to create and share videos using existing videos clips. They call the app MixBit and rightly so.

Hurley shares that the idea to come up with this app was to improve the quality of picture content and provide an open source avenue to help "everyone, not just a select group". Moreover, MixBit was born to curb what Hurley terms the "self-promotional nature of social media".

You’ve probably been living under a rock if you still haven’t heard of Instagram, an app catering to iPhones and Smartphones that basically involves taking photos, putting in a few filters, and then publishing those photo for all your contacts too see.

Although a relatively simple concept, Instagram has proved to be wildly successful so much that in 2012, Facebook even took notice and decided to purchase the app for 1 billion dollars!

Instagram is relevant, it is cool, and hip, and in many ways,it is rivaling Facebook. It is a great way to promote businesses, launch careers and so on and so forth. However, as with blogging, not everyone is destined to become a great Instagram star.
