   Here’s news that might be of interest for Facebook users: today, we launch a new Facebook video application, which we believe is the most complete one available. Video Share has the coolest and most useful tools for watching and sharing videos on Facebook, all in one place.
   Among other features, users who install Video Share will be able to:

   Collect videos and share them with their friends
   Search videos from more than 200 websites and add them to their profile with just one click
   Choose the interface language (English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Japanese or Chinese)
   Receive updates every time there is a new video on their favorite subjects (key words / tags subscription)
   Import their YouTube favorites
   Watch their friends’ video selections

   We believe that we are offering an app the market has been waiting for. One of its most relevant characteristics is that the user is able to choose their interface language, something that is still rare, but very important, given Facebook’s increasing reach in the rest of the world.

   We hope you like it!
   If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know.

   OBS: Be sure to take a look at the comparative table of Video Share and other video apps (http://www.weshow.com/files/Video_Share_EN.jpg ), which provides a comprehensive overview of the product.

   All the best,
