With me being in Germany and the rest of the family back in bonny Scotland, that subsequently makes me the black sheep of the family. I only get home once a year and I often get complaints from relatives that they never see me often enough.
But I feel thankful that we live in the age of the internet with email, Skype and webcams. These days, I don’t feel so far away from home as I used to, compared to when I started travelling back in the Dark Ages of 1994. Now Eyejot has made that distance even shorter by giving me the ability to send my parents a video email. All you need is a webcam, microphone and of course yourself.
SpringDoo is another intresting service that allows to send video or voice messages via email. This service adds some flavor to usual email services. Instead of writing a message you can send a video or voice email. I think it is potentially usefull especially for people who do not like writing. The simplicity and interface is amazing. To be able to use this service user needs to have mic (for voicemail) and webcam (for videomail).
