When I opened my e-mail the other day,Rachel,a pretty woman,appeared on my computer screen.She greeted me by name and started talking happily.Sometimes she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss.It was cool,right?In fact,she was reading to me an e-mail from my brother John.
Rachel could be there because of a new technology called Facemail lets you send in a funny way.By using it,your e-mails can be read to the receiver by an attractive person or by a clown.You can download the software at www.Facemail.com without paying.Facemail faces are lively and they can simulate the emotions that you put in you text.For example,type in
,and Rachel blows a kiss.
LifeFX,the company that developed the Facemail,is sure there are wide business uses.Why is e-business not so popular now?One of the reasons is that buying online has no human touch.But if you go to the Nike website,and the famous basketball star Michael Jordan greets you by name,serves you,and personally closes the sale,won't you be happy?Also,if mom can't be home when kids get back from school,she can leave a note with a voice and picture on the screen to tell them what there is to eat.
It's true that Facemail makes life easy and fun,but it should be used with care.The clown looks lively and funny at first.But if you choose the clown,put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions,you've got a Psycho mail.
