@Socialcam, I noticed one of the comments on your page stating that the videos are removed from the phone and not retrievable but haven't had a chance to test this. Is there a reason for doing this and if so why?

I installed sc on my Android phone.
I used it to take a 3 second video of my keyboard.
It uploaded to sc, where I can see the video just fine.
On my Android phone, I cannot find the video anywhere -- It does not show up in gallery.
None of the other videos I see in my Android Gallery show up in the socialcam app to share them, and socialcam does not show up in the typical Android share menus.
At socialcam.com, I can see the video I took, and can share it, but there seems to be no way to delete it, modify it, or download it.

I'm more interested to learn how SocialCam managed to get so much interest? Is it ThanksGiving, therefore giving people a reason to show something off?

When we bring users in for user testing and ask them when they are most likely to take their next video - the number 1 response is during a special event (birthday, christmas, graduation, etc). The holiday season is very very kind to Socialcam.

This also presents a problem if the app is not frequently used. The social/notification aspect should keep users coming back. I guess the hard part is you need at least 50-60 friends for users to engage once a day.
