Is this Email 2.0? Eyejot Does Video Email

I came across this new web based system that is all about video emails. Now not sure if this is the email 2.0 app we have all been looking for, but I am going to need to test it out. EyeJot is saying that you can now send video email to people from your own computer. Now I have a Apple that allows me to use the built in web cam to capture and send video when I want… but will it always play in other email clients like an Apple will? No. I know this as I have sent video to people and they are not always able to view it.

So will this be the magic bullet? I hope so. But if they have it, why don’t all of the email marketers out there know about it? Seems to be a consumer email play, but if it works., trust me we will all be calling.

Eyejot… ring me up and give me the 411 if this is the cure.

Here is what they list on the site:

Eyejot Requirements
There are only a few things you need before being able to use Eyejot. They are:

Modern web browser (IE, Safari, Firefox, Opera)
Adobe Flash 9 (Looks like you need to install/update your Adobe Flash Plugin! Get it here.)
A webcam
A microphone (if your webcam doesn’t have one built-in)
Flash 9 is available for most operating systems including:

Windows XP
Windows Vista
Apple OS X
Linux
For mobile access to your Eyejot messages you’ll need a device that supports web browsing and mobile video (3GP).
