Update your Facebook profile pic with a video


A new facebook app allows you to replace your profile pic with a video.
The 'Flip your profile' app has been built by Cisco and DDB Singapore in order to promote Cisco's line of Flip video cameras.
However, firstly your friends will need to have installed the plug-in to see your video and secondly an advert appears on your page promoting the product.
If you still want to upload your Facebook video profile, Mashable has published an easy four step guide to doing so;
  1. Go to facebook.com/FlipSG and download the browser plugin for Chrome, Safari, Firefox or IE.
  2. Restart your browser.
  3. Connect your profile with the app.
  4. Shoot and send video by e-mailing a video from your Flip Video cam to me@flipyourprofile.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , or by using the Profile Maker to shoot a video using your webcam or to upload an existing video (less than 10MB, .flv, .mp4, h.264 only).*
*Note: If you’re using, for example, your iPhone to shoot video, you’ll need to use a free file converter like Get Miro to convert your .mov file to one of the compatible formats. You should also shoot your video in horizontal mode; otherwise, it will appear sideways on your profile.
