Have you ever seen these profile pictures that are actually a short video which loops over and over again, and wondered how on Earth were they created? If you did, then it’s time to stop wondering. The ones who created them used a service like VanityVid – a service that lets anybody have a video as a profile picture.
There must be few sites that are as straightforward as this one. In order to use it, all you have to do is upload the video that you want to become your looping profile image. Alternatively, you can: 1) Use your webcam to get a video, 2) Use your mobile to record yourself, and 3) Get the Firefox add-on to get a video from wherever you are, and not only when you are stationed at the VanityVid website.
All in all, quite a simple way to have a livelier profile to go around. How assiduously you are using it will depend on how active you are on sites like Facebook and Twitter, of course. But I know for sure most of you have a really constant presence on the Social Web, so this service will go down well among you.
