Flikzor.com - Get Your Video On

Text is so old school which is precisely why you should jump on the Flikzor bandwagon and start sending video messages/comments to all your Myspace friends, blog readers, etc. Here’s the low down: dig out your web cam, record a message-- make it funny, sad, bizarre-- and paste it to your Outer Post/Facebook/Xanga/you get the picture profile. Think about it, with video you don’t have to wonder about how to spell Mississippi or how many exclamation marks or smileys are needed to get your point across. Smile in real life, show real emotion. Even if you haven’t got a web cam you can still record audio. And others can respond in kind. If you’ve got a Flikzor widget on your Myspace page everyone will be able to send you video/audio messages. Flikzor accounts are free and there’s nothing fancy required to use it.

“flikzor is a fresh new take on social interaction. Instead of typing to your friends, you can now send and receive video comments (fliks) on your MySpace profile, Blogger blog, and pretty much anywhere you can paste HTML. Don't have a web cam? No biggie. You can record audio with your mic or simply let others send you messages.”

Flikzor is refreshingly straight-forward and simple. Everyone can use it, even your grandmother will appreciate your Fliks. Leave your parents messages, keep in contact with your pals—whatever you use Flikzor for, it’s guaranteed to be much more personal, and lively than plain old text.

Sometimes a two line email is all that’s necessary. Coming up with a video takes time. You have to set up your camera, adjust the sound, lighting etc. While it’s more in your face, video isn’t necessarily the best medium for communication. Will users find it to cumbersome?
