A friend of mine showed this to me and got me interested in using this for advertising. His name is Scott, and is business partners with Mike Allstot. They own "A Train Realty."
Its basically a new kind of email video that was created. It allows the user to send videos (for ex:videos of houses or properties or any type of advertisements). The best part is that they have a template of your company around the video including your website link, email, and picture if you want.
Now I have seen video email before and probably most of you have too. This one however does not have a system requirement, meaning anyone can open the email. This is possible because it does not download to your computer and does not use any software. The video is basically sent via a hyperlink through Talkfusion. when you click the hyperlink, Talkfusion pings your computer to know at what speed your computer is running at so it can send the data. So what you get is a video instantly playing when you click the link.
The email will also track who views the video and if they forward it to any friends.
Anyhow I just wanted to see what everyone though and if its something that they would personally use because its extremely affordable and really seems cutting edge!

go to the website talkfusion.com and check it out and tell me your thoughts

I checked out the site. I wouldn't recommend it.

It sounds like you are paying for hosting, and you're paying a high price. Don't bother.

Myspace and Youtube (along with many other video sites) will host your videos for free. They also provide the necessary code so you can drop it into emails or post it onto your site.

So, if you want to make a video of yourself - for introduction purposes or perhaps to showcase a listing, first make the video. Compress it to MPG, and then upload it to Myspace or Youtube. It only takes a few minutes for those sites to then create an SWF file which compresses the file even further. Then you grab the code, throw it into your website (or into an email), and you're done.

All free.
