YouTube announced yesterday<\/a> that they are shutting down from 1st April 2013 and they will spend the next 10 years to choose a winner from all the uploaded videos. Of course, everyone knows that it is a April Fools’ Day<\/a> joke. However, not many expect Chad Hurley, CEO of YouTube, to use it as a way to introduce MixBit, a new video service.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is not much information on MixBit. Based on the page, it seems that it is a video creation service. According to CNET, Hurley might have spoken about this service befor.<\/p>\n

MixBit could be the same service Hurley spoke about at the South by Southwest Interactive conference earlier this month. AdWeek reported that Hurley spoke about a collaboration platform for video that wouldn’t be a YouTube competitor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is the actual Tweet from Chad Hurley on the MixBit site.<\/p>\n

Since @youtube<\/a> is ending, we’re launching a new video site… Welcome to MixBit.com<\/a>! @mixbitapp<\/a> This time it’s not a contest!<\/p>\n

\u2014 Chad Hurley (@Chad_Hurley) April 1, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have already subscribed to their mailing list. Hopefully we can hope something soon.<\/p>\n
