Veeker was founded to help you make video and picture messaging a part of your everyday life. Inexpensive cameraphones, webcams, and PCs, combined with affordable broadband Internet connections and mobile messaging plans, make the options available for keeping in touch with friends, family, and colleagues-the people that matter most-a lot more interesting than they were only a short time ago. So, why are email and messaging systems largely limited to text or voice? No good reason, and they're not any longer! Introducing Veeker 2.0, the world's first messaging service designed for video and picture messaging on mobile phones and the Web. It's a unique and powerful combination of the management and archival capabilities of email systems, the fun and vitality of video and picture sharing sites, and the immediacy of mobile messaging. Using Veeker, you and anyone you know can exchange video and picture messages on mobile phones, email, profile pages and blogs, and, of course, Veeker.com. The service is free, incredibly simple to use, works on most any phone in most every country, and requires no download or install.
