Gawkk: Twitter for Video

Last week, we spotted Gawkk at the Web 2.0 Expo, and they told us they were the “Twitter for Video” which really got our attention. This website lets you watch, share, and discuss videos from around the Web with friends by creating your own channel, and writing short posts with a link to your favorite videos. What’s nice about it is that you can watch the video on the same page, and your viewers can leave messages, vote on them, share them on their social network, and even grab the embed code.  The site also hosts tons of “featured channels” such as HBO, Hulu, E! Online, TMZ, and more. You can search videos by category, popular videos, and newest. Gawkk integrates with Twitter so you can also tweet from the site! Here’s a quick video from the Expo last week:
