Product Description

Eyejot is the first comprehensive, client-free video-messaging platform ideal for both personal and business communications. Eyejot offers everyone the ability to create and receive video messages in a self-contained, spam-free environment. With no client to install, consumers can start using Eyejot immediately with any browser, on any platform. It even features built-in support for iTunes™ (and iPods™), mobile devices and social networks like MySpace™.

Market Opportunity

Live or recorded, the market for both personal and business video messaging is set to explode. Webcams are standard on all new Apples, and PC vendors are following suit. Logitech and Creative are developing smaller and better products, and a key video ingredient, Adobe Flash, is now deployed in over 98% of all computers.

Demo Says

Video messaging has certainly seen its share of iterations. It’s the next logical step to messaging yet the concept hasn’t yet taken off. Eyejot is one to watch in the video email space. Taking the flexibility of email and putting it in video form, Eyejot records a message via your existing Webcam—no client or download required—and sends it off. Rather than trying to replace email, Eyejot aims to add to it. The company also offers support for iPods via RSS stream—just download Eyejot mail to your iPod and watch it while you’re out and about. Or teens can add the Eyejot applet to their MySpace pages, adding an entirely new layer to social networking. It’s fun, it’s convenient, it’s easy—and it just may usher in the next level of messaging.
