Veeker Makes Video Instant Messaging a Reality

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the too-much-time-on-the-phone dept.

Stitch_Surfs writes to tell us that the new video instant messaging tool "Veeker" went live today. Able to be embedded in any website, Veeker allows you to share mobile video with your friends. From the article: "In a nutshell, Veeker is instant video messaging. The most basic use case is to shoot 60 seconds of video from your mobile phone and upload this video to Veeker in the form of an MMS. Within about 60 seconds your video is on the Veeker portal where, depending upon whether you sent it to one of three addresses is visible only by you (me@veeker.com) visible to you and your contacts (v@veeker.com) or made available for viewing by anyone who visits Veeker and is inclined to check you out (world@veeker.com)."

    ... Video messaging rates are rediculous.

    Maybe they could convert the video to asciimation.

    I would feel a lot better about using their service then.
