Windows Phone App of the Day: Privy Moments
You know those Bullet HD helmet cameras? Well, that would be perfect for this new app by Mosonex, Inc. Released just before the new year, Privy Moments allows you to create your own personal channel and beam all of your epic adventures on TV, Mobile Phones, and Facebook. Upload high quality photos of your latest bouldering trip or high-res videos of you and your bros heliskiing in Salt Lake City this Winter. Your friends and family will love being able to keep up with you no matter where you go. And isn’t YouTube just so…2011?

Conclusion
This is a really great idea for anyone who wants a more intimate social networking experience or who really appreciates viewing and sharing videos. The quality is better than YouTube, in my opinion, and I love the fact that you can views your pics and vids on TV because, come on, it just looks way more impressive on the big screen. I have a truly embarrassing video of my friends and I performing a synchronized dance to Blink 182’s “All The Small Things” in my parent’s living room when we were 10, and I fully intend to use this app to share it with the world.
