Mobile Media Greetings
Posted by samc on December 11th, 2007Cellyspace (http://www.cellyspace.com) has launched a do-it-yourself, web-based Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) for users to create multimedia greeting cards and send them to their family and friend’s phones.
Dubbed the “MMS Composer,” this service allows users to upload pictures and audio files from their computer, edit them into a slideshow and then send them for immediate or scheduled delivery. MMS messages are optimized to fit mobile phone formats and can include audio, video, text and images. The service is well suited for making an immediate and emotional impact on that special person at that special time.
Cellyspace doesn’t charge to create or store MMS messages but there is a $0.20 charge to send them. There is no need for recipients to download software on their phones. The service is compatible with the major US
wireless carriers and with most MMS-enabled (”picture messaging”) phones on those networks.
Animoto is another interesting (and free) multimedia site. It allows you to create multimedia shows from still photos. Just upload your stills, choose music (theirs or yours), and you get a dynamic, MTV-like show returned in seconds.
Unlike Ken Burns style slide shows, using pan and zoom technology, Animoto creates dynamic picture-in-picture effects automatically. Animoto technology analyses your photos and music, and creates professional looking effects. Repeat for more variety.
It’s a free service for a 30 second clip. Longer shows cost $3, with inexpensive monthly or annual rates also available.
