If you're in need of the address or phone number for a business or restaurant, you can always call 411 for help. If you send a text message to 466453 (which spells Google on a phone dial pad), you'll get the address and phone number on your screen, so you don't need to write anything down or worry about getting reconnected. Simply write the name of the business city and state in the body of the message and hit send. While this is a free service, you do have to pay your carrier's standard rate for messaging. This is pretty neat! Hope it helps you!
Also, I was just surfing the other day to see if there is anything else out there that would be helpful in my real estate business. I stumbled upon eyejot.com and it is really neat. If you have a webcam and a microphone on your computer you can send video e-mails to your customers, clients or family. I don't know if you feel this way but I was taking my daughter back to college on Sunday and I told her that I think I won't be text messaging them anymore because it took the personal touch out of it. I have two in college and a junior in high school. The two in college do about 11,000 to 14,000 text messages per month. We text and you read into the messages things that are not there. Since this is the way youth communicate, we have to get involved and I think this eyejot.com is a good way to keep feelings in your communications and use today technology.
This is simple to use and I learned it in about 10 minutes. There is no programs to load on your computer, it is all web based. The reason it took so long is I don't have a webcam on my computer and I was able to use a video camera I have and hooked to it my computer by the firewire cable. When you have eyejot configured to make sure your microphone and camera is working, you just hit the record button and start your message. Eyejot has a free service and a fee for service. If I begin to use this alot, I'll probably go to the fee for service. The free service/account lets you record upto 1 minute messages and your message stay on the system for only 30 days. Believe it or not, a 1 minute message is a lot of time to send for a quick update or to say hi. Then you add their e-mail address and you can even type a message and the hit send and that is it. The receiving party will get an e-mail and they click on the video and the browser will open eyejot and they can watch the video message you sent. If they have a webcam and microphone and an account with eyejot, they can hit reply and record one and send right back to you. I like this because you do keep the personal touch in it.
That's all I have right now and I need to get back to work. There is endless oportunity with eyejot, if you buy the service, you can record a message and embed it on your website and it will stay on eyejot until you remove it. Technology is great but it can also distract you. Have fun with 466453 and eyejot!
