The advent of mobile telephones has taken communication to a whole new level. There was a time when people had to rely on bulky landlines to talk to each other, and there was no way of reaching someone instantaneously if that person was not present at a given number.
Smartphones have taken communication even further by opening up various possibilities, including various marketing and advancement avenues.
iPhone offers tons of different ways to communicate with your friends — phone calls, messaging, Facebook, Twitter, Email, and many more. There are various third party applications (a lot more than ever before) that offer new ways of communication. One of such apps is Blab Video Messenger, a new video messaging system. The app claims to be a video walkie – talkie, and has a push to talk functionality as well.
The app works in tandem with your contacts list and ties up with your phone number to bring forth a new form of messaging. In order to send a Blab video, all you have to do is tap and hold on to the name of a contact. The service will record for the entire time your finger is on the screen. The moment you remove your finger, Blab will send the video to the contact, thus giving you the most seamless integration available. The recipient need not have downloaded Blab, for he will receive it as a regular message. This way, you can get in touch with your friends. But they will not be able to respond with a video if they do not have the app. All the videos you send are private. The makers have recently updated it with the ability of cancelling a video if it does not come out right.
It is a free iPhone app that is quite neat. And worth a try!
