Abstract: An integrated application program for video shooting, video sharing, video editing and contact information management on a mobile device. Upon being invoked, the application program directly enters into the video shooting mode of a graphical user interface (GUI) where a user can start to shoot a video after interacting with the GUI only once. Further, contact information is represented using a grid like visual object within the GUI. A grid includes a plurality of pictorial tiles, each representing a contact group. The social grid is customizable by user configurations and/or automatically based on a number of predefined factors. Once recipients are selected from the grid, the video message can be transmitted to the selected recipients. All functionalities can be within a single application program resident on the mobile device.
