Video Advertising, Websnapr, Jott, Qipit, Mailbigfile
Online video advertising isn’t as annoying as you might think. According to a recent poll done by Ipsos North America, 82% of those surveyed are fine with “a few” ads being inserted into a feature-length television program. That number drops to 48%, however, when YouTube-style “homemade” videos are added to the mix.
Taking snapshots of the Internet is an interesting concept. And that’s exactly what Websnapr does. The basic concept is simple: type in a web address and get a real time screen cap of that site. What sets the service apart from its competition, however, is its compatibility. Websnapr can be integrated into such platforms as Wordpress, Nuke, and Drupal, allowing users to view new pages, pictures, and blog posts before actually clicking on the links.
You know, in today’s world, organization is key. And the folks at Jott realize this, and they’re here to help. Are you using Jott yet? It’s been around awhile, and for some it’s something they use all day, every day. There are a million uses for it, but the idea is you can jot yourself a note by just calling a number on your speed dial. Jott records your voice and sends back what you said to you in a text message or an email. Or you can even send your notes to someone else. And of course, it’s free.
Let’s say that you’re at a conference or any meeting. You see a chart or a graph — or notes on a whiteboard — that you want to take a picture of, but normal image files just won’t cut it. What you really need is a pdf that you or anyone you send it to can email, save, print or fax. The solution? Qipit. It’s is a free service that will turn a photo from your digital camera or camera phone into a shiny new PDF file. From there, the world is your oyster. You can do almost anything you’d like with your new PDFs, like save them to a flash drive or fax them. Cool.
Sometimes, you need to send a file to someone else via email. And not just any file, but a really big one. Your normal email provider can’t send a file like that — but mailbigfile.com can. Mailbigfile allows you to send files up to 100mb to anyone … for free. If that isn’t enough, a pay service is available which supports files up to one gig. Sending big files without using external media or the post office. Sounds like a good deal to me.












Good stuff, Brad! I also use http://www.sendthisfile.com for big files by email. Also up to 100 megs free and a premium service that allows more.
Insightful and useful as always Brad – Thanks. I’ve been using http://www.YouSendIt.com successfully for large file transfers [same 'free-line']- It’s always good to have additional resources.
JOTT is a really nifty program, and even more so when you combine in with sites like Twitter. Now you can pick up your cell phone and Twitter that observation or breaking news to your Twitter followers.
