Send video mail without the hassles, or the cost
The Flash-based service works with all operating systems and most webcams, and it follows the TrustE privacy policy. Eyejot has recently added a Site Widget that lets you add the service to your own Web site, as well as the ability to receive Eyejot messages via iTunes and RSS. There's even an Eyejot browser toolbar, though I didn't try this service, in part because on my 17-inch monitor I need all the browsing room I can get.When you receive a video message, you simply click the image to open the video in a new browser window. As the video plays you're given the option to download it to your PC, or you can click the download link for the file in your Eyejot inbox.View Eyejot's Flash-based videos in your browser off the company's server, or download them to your PC.My only question is how the increased use of video mail via such services as Eyejot will affect network throughput. For many years the people who manage the Internet backbone, and the many private networks that connect to it, have warned that video would ultimate clog the networks, which were designed to handle text and other simpler data types. I have a strong feeling that the Internet will find a way to accommodate the growing demand for video, whether by migrating to such technologies as Internet2 or IPv6, or by finding ways to squeeze more bandwidth out of current methods.Tomorrow: your best desktop-search options.
