Video-mail is the future

One of the most interesting features in Yaika! is the ability so send video-mails. It's quite simple - you push record, say what you have to say and push send. The recipient gets a notice in their inbox saying that they have received a video-mail and a link to said video. The recipient then has to do a one-time registration (unless he or she is already a member of Yaika!) and watch the message.

I think this opens up a plethora of new possibilities. First of all, there's no need to actually type anything in (except for the recipient's address, of course). Second of all, we now have the added benefit of body language and facial impressions. This allows us to get our message across much more easily and we don't have to waste our time going through those pesky emoticons :) More often than not it's actually easier to describe something with your hands than your voice. But the best part is still the simplicity. It only takes five minutes (depending on the length of your message) to record and send a message.

This will have a pretty big impact on ordinary mail, because when video-mail start to gain popularity, more and more people will understand and appreciate its benefits. For now, the mail only provides a link to the video, but in the future, I'd imagine there will be add-ons for the mail clients, so that they could play the video without opening a browser.

It's important to note that if you do not wish to show your face (too shy or whatnot), then we've also got that covered here at Yaika! Why not send an audio-mail instead? Everything is the same, just no videofeed.

Come and try for yourself :)
