I am pretty tech
savvy, well enough to get by. I try to
keep up with new phones, more specifically, what they can do. I have to admit, its fun to play with a new
toy, so when I was asked to write a review on this new app I figured why not.
We live in a
busy time. A time where we keep things
short and sweet, I mean Twitter has trained us to keep it under 140 characters
to the point people say, “Give me the Twitter version.”
Texting has
become HUGE, and I mean huge. It’s
gotten to the point that there are campaigns to NOT text while doing other
things so that no one gets hurt. Because
of this the need for alternative texting is growing.
One alternative,
if the person does not want or can not call is Voxer. I love this app. You can leave a voice or text for someone,
turning your phone into a walkie talkie.
If you do not have this app I highly recommend you download it.
However, the app
I was asked to review is not Voxer. It’s
called Glide Video Texting. I get the
concept of this app. It’s a good concept, however it’s kind of useless if no
one else has it.
We as humans
need interaction; we are hard wired that way.
It’s a must. Glide is a way to
bring the HUMAN element back into our tech interactions. You record a short video and your contact
replies back with a video. You don’t have to be connected at the time you send
the video, so it’s not like Facetime or Skype. You can watch whenever you want and however
many times you want.
Like I said, I
like the concept of the app but sadly I can not use it, I have no one in my
contacts who have it. Maybe I can
revisit this review in a few months if I get more friends to use it. So if you have an Android here is the
link. Apple users you will have to look
for it in the itunes store.
See you in a
video text.
