Youtube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen launch the new app MixBit. This app allows users to upload video clips and collaborate on them by "remixing" the clips into something new. Videos can be as short as a second or as long as an hour. Currently available only on iOS, Android users must wait until an estimated late September to get on board with the new app.
