Keek

Keek is a social networking service and mobile app that specialized in sharing short video clips. Users could record videos on their mobile devices or upload existing clips, publish them to their profile or followers, and interact via comments, likes, and shares. The platform emphasized a mobile-first, public-by-default approach to micro-video discovery.

Keek originated in Canada and launched in the early 2010s. It gained adoption among ordinary users and celebrities for quick updates and behind-the-scenes content. It offered apps for iOS and Android and could be accessed via a web interface; early integration with Twitter and Facebook allowed cross-posting and wider reach.

In addition to video posting, Keek provided a follower model, searchable channels, and discovery features. It experimented with monetization and content partnerships, though details varied over time.

As other short-video platforms emerged (such as Vine, Instagram video, and Snapchat), Keek faced growing competition and shifts in user behavior. Usage declined through the mid- to late-2010s, and the consumer-facing service was largely phased out, with limited activity in later years. Keek is remembered as one of the early mobile-first social video platforms that contributed to the popularization of short-form video sharing.
