Channeling Turntable.fm, ShortForm Shows Off Live VJ Video Parties (With A Custom TechCrunch Social)

Screen shot 2011-08-25 at 10.41.39 PMTurntable.fm is so hot right now. In fact, when it comes to tweets, the synchronous social music platform may even have more Klout than Pandora or Spotify. With the rise in popularity of Turntable, it's only natural that video curation platforms would be eager to take a cue from the music dance party site and bring that disco to videos.Two weeks ago, we covered the launch of Chill, which in concept is almost a direct analogue of Turntable.fm for videos, except that in the case of Chill, there are "Lounges" as opposed to the DJ rooms of Turntable. A stretch, I know. Of course, when it comes to social video experiences, there's Socialcam and Google+, which both let you watch videos with your friends online, but there's so much more potential here for interactivity, as shown by Turntable.ShortForm, the year-and-half-old startup that launched to help video fanatics create personalized channels of web video content, also recently took to the synchronous, social video experience, as it recently launched its Live Video Parties integration, which allows video jockeys to broadcast video content to a live audience.
