Canada's Keek social video service passes 58 million user mark

It may not be as popular as Instagram or even Vine, but the Canadian-created social video sharing service seems comitted to compete against those leading apps. The company is reportedly raising $100 million for financing to better compete with more widely popular apps and services. Keek allows users to record and post 36-second long videos called "Keeks" from smartphones as well as computer connected webcams. Followers can then comment and like the videos. You know, sort of like YouTube.

Founded in 2011, Keek's aggressive moves could make it a big story in Canadian app innovation. Keek is available on browsers, Android, iOS, Windows Phone and Blackberry.

The first true social video sharing service is Canadian-made Keek. It launched about two years ago and has since been made cross-platform (available on iOS, Android, and BlackBerry 10 as well), which helped it grow to a strong 50 million users. Two days ago, Keek announced that they would be the first social video sharing service to launch on the Windows Phone 8 platform, offering those users' the ability to to upload and share footage recorded on their smartphones. Keek gained popularity earlier this year, prior to the Vine's and Instagram videos of the world, when it became the first celebrity-used social video sharing service.
