Press Release
Body = United Virtualities, the leading innovator of creative marketing
and technology solutions for the digital marketplace, today announces
it will start commercialising ‘HotRecorder’: an online
advertising unit that doubles as a recorder of Skype and other PC-originated
VoIP conversations. Once downloaded, HotRecorder will launch every
time users access their VoIP programme. Users will see an ad message
within a dialogue window, and have access to tools to record, store,
search, send via email or play back their conversations and conference
calls. The unit also features "emotisounds" that enable
users of HotRecorder to add humorous sounds to their conversations.
“We are
rapidly moving into an era of consumer control over when and how
they see commercial messages,” says Mookie Tenembaum, founder
and CEO of United Virtualities. “HotRecorder rewards the user’s
time spent exposed to the ad message with helpful tools they might
not otherwise have. This product has countless uses, from sending
voice greetings, to keeping accurate records of conversations and
conferences. It could be especially useful for corporate customer
support training purposes, in addition to helping companies to comply
with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. It’s like being able to produce
an audio presentation on the fly.”
There will be
no cost to users to download an advertising-supported version of
HotRecorder. A premium paid version of the recorder, without ad
messages, will also be made available. The next version of HotRecorder
could be used separately from
VoIP to record any kind of audio files.
VoIP’s
popularity has exploded. In the 18 months since Skype launched its
product, the company claims 74 million downloads. The company is
currently signing up about 60,000 new registered users every day
