Keek social video service extends its mobile reach, launches on Windows Phone 8

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.

This is bad news for users of the 7-inch tablet who have been holding out for a feature refresh as well as a more unified experience across BlackBerry devices.
