Developed in Italy and capable of competing over an international Web 2.0 scenario, the Hictu video micro-blogging platform lets users instantly publish text, audio and video messages online and share this content with friends and other Hictu users. Video and audio messages can be recorded directly from within Hictu webpages, turning the service into the "Twitter" for video micro-bloggers. Hictu enables users to update the world with their "real-time" status and activities, while integrating content from leading IM and VoIP services.

"Micro communities like Hictu are becoming daily places of congregation and are increasing in importance for their users," says Roman Scharf, JAJAH co-founder.
