Todd's Tuesday Tech Tip #6: Fuzzmail

Hello Colleagues,

Happy Tuesday!

This week's tip is one I have a hard time categorizing.  Is it useful?  I'm not sure.  Is it cool?  Indeed!  How will you use it?  I'm not really sure, but with all the creative energy in our staff, I'm sure someone will find a neat way to use it.  Please share how you might on our blog, where all of the tips are stored for your use in the future.



So, without further ado, let's see what Fuzzmail is.

Fuzzmail is an animated e-mail program.  Yes, you read that correctly.  It is an animated e-mail program.  Have you seen a movie in which they showed an e-mail created in real time?  It sort of shows up, exactly as the person created it, complete with typos, erasures, copy and paste etc. 

Here's what the creators of Fuzzmail say about it: 

WHAT IS FUZZMAIL? Fuzzmail records the act of writing and lets you send it as an email. Dynamic changes, typoes, pauses and writeovers are captured and communicated. We created fuzzmail because we wanted a more emotionally expressive alternative to email, so that an emailed love letter does not have to look the same as a business letter.Here is a short video of someone creating a Fuzzmail:  Example

So, how do you think you might use this interesting tool?  Please be sure to leave a comment on the T4 website so that others can benefit from your idea!

Thanks,
Todd
