Aiming to make video messages as common as voice mails, startup Threemany.com offers free private video messages to all users with a web browser and any available webcam.
It provides a digital wall for families to leave messages in a private and password protected site and allows their loved ones to view the messages at their convenience and respond back with a video or text reply.
Privacy is at the core of the product. A family starts off with their own private wall. They can then invite their close friends and family to view their wall only after they have registered and been authenticated.
There are no “home pages” to be built, no websites to be created – a 30-second registration and authentication process is all that is needed to post the first video.
This new technology has proven its prowess in helping Military families communicate with their loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan. It would be wonderful if Threemany.com can integrate this technology with smartphones (for free of course) to make it a lot easier and more entertaining to communicate with family members and friends.

I visited the home page and this looks like a great service. You can also imagine lots of project teams (within companies or nonprofits) and freelancers (who want to communicate with clients) using the service.
Thanks for finding this valuable service. I have added it to the 600 wide-ranging hand picked services we have included in our new search engine Search Free Apps (www.SearchFreeApps.com).

Thanks for your comment, Bruce. Indeed, I think this is more useful in business collaborations and virtual teams who like to share their insights privately. I hope Threemany.com will find a way to position it this way.
By the way, I checked your site and I find it very interesting. Already subscribed to your RSS feed and I hope to see all your free apps soon!
Almost all of the commentary on this blog site dont make sense.
