We're excited and proud to announce that Vidly is the first Twitter video service to support full 720p HD video.

Traditionally, video on Twitter has been low quality UGC. We want to encourage sharing of high quality content to see Twitter become a real promotional channel for filmmakers, large or small. Twitter's promotional potential is not fully realized, imagine movie trailers and music videos from original content creators.

To celebrate the launch, in partnership with Pure Digital, we're running a contest called "Flip Fridays" where we're giving away Vidly branded Flip MinoHDs every Friday to get everyone in the HD spirit. Flip was kind enough to sponsor the contest to help promote HD on Twitter.

Here's an HD video of iJustine announcing our HD release and explaining the contest!
