Hey Tell
This little app Hey Tell allows you to use your phone like a walkie-talkie and leave small voice notes for your friends and family. Sure helps when you are walking and want to send someone a text, just push to talk. And it is FREE! You can, of course, add on a little bit and get the ability to “push your voice” out to multiple people. Could be handy for sending out reminders to a list of say, students. Just saying.

Scroll down, to the bottom of my website and see a couple more examples of videos I have created. I also recently pulled together this little animation video describing why you need a how-to video. So, think about one of your products or services that might become even more popular, with your customers, and let’s talk video.
