"\"Instagram for video\" Viddy may have only just launched, but it's already been seized upon by dapper rock band Panic at the Disco. The band is asking fans to download the app and help create the video for its new single, \"Ready to Go.\"\n\"We had been discussing the idea of creating a crowd-sourced video on our upcoming tour, and when we stumbled upon Viddy a couple weeks ago it sounded like it could be exactly what we were looking for,\" the band tells us. \nIf you recall, Viddy is a social video app that lets users apply filters and other effects to short clips shot on their iPhones. Panic at the Disco is asking fans to follow their account, PanicAtTheDisco, and film the band performing on tour \u2014 as well as the crowd, venue, etc. Fans can then tag #readytogo, so that the band can aggregate the clips for the upcoming video.\n\"We have the best fans in the world, and it continuously ceases to amaze us how passionate they are about our band, so anytime we can find a way to collaborate with them it's a huge win,\" the band says. \"There probably isn't a better way to capture our live show than through the eyes of the fans themselves.\"\nMoby recently launched a similar campaign around a his new album, Destroyed, in which he hosted a stream of the disc on a dedicated site featuring user-submitted Instagram photos. \nThe realm of social video- and photo-sharing apps seems to be a fertile one for bands hoping to interact with their fanbase. We'll be interested to see what campaigns emerge as apps of that nature become more ubiquitous. \nImage courtesy of Panic at the Disco"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
