Video Messages with a twist

Video emails have been around for a while, although it's often been a challenge to send or receive due to email formats, attachments, and slower internet connection speeds.

Well, it looks like the advent of sites allowing video uploads are about to add some new twists to the upload and publish yourself theme.

Several sites are emerging with some great ideas.
www.isendout.com is gearing up to allow you to record and send a video business card. Login, create your template, record your video message and add to your email signature, or email directly to the person of your choice. Now thats neat. Here is an example;

Then take a look at Video Xmas Card - this one lets you send a holiday video message up to 2 minutes long, thats a lot, and its free to try

I can see contests for the most creative video coming soon to a website near you. I am definately in to win a car if thats an option. I am sure it will be before long.
