A new app is under development that claims to be the next Instagram, called the ‘OneSec’ App -- an Instagram for one-second videos.

The app has taken the popular idea of photo sharing and decided to up the ante by allowing users to create and share one-second videos. The idea that “less is more” is something that I believe could catch on. While there is a similar app already on the market called [Flixel](http://flixel.com/), OneSec allows for sound to be added into the mix.

Developed by Francis, a Belgian developer, and Vidar, a Norwegian product designer, the OneSec is trying to raise funds to finish developing the iPhone app and they are offering up various perks for donations.
