SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday season
Flip Video™ users can get creative and have some fun creating and
sending personal video greeting cards to their friends and family.
Using the latest FlipShare software, pre-loaded on all Flip video
cameras, users can easily record a personal message and load it
into one of dozens of holiday inspired greeting card templates. The
latest version of FlipShare software also makes it easier than ever
for consumers to share their videos using new private sharing
features that incorporate social networking capabilities so users
can share videos with friends and family as well as send and
receive comments. In addition, Flip's Facebook™ fans can enjoy the
new Flip Video greeting card application on Facebook which enables
users to load any video into a fun holiday greeting card to share
with their friends.
"Flip Video has literally changed the way the world captures and
shares video. Flip users have shared tens of millions videos since
Flip was introduced 3 years ago," said Jodi
Lipe, director of marketing, Cisco Consumer Products. "With
our exciting new greeting cards and sharing advancements, we are
creating more ways for Flip users to share memories and express
themselves through video during the holidays and beyond."
The FlipShare greeting card option features more than forty
all-new designs ranging from Christmas and Hanukkah to Birthday, Anniversary and Thank You.
Once a user selects their favorite design, they simply type in
their own personal message to go along with their Flip video. The
video greeting card can then be sent at no cost by email to a
single recipient or to a group. Flip Video plans on adding more new
card designs throughout the year.
In addition the latest addition of the pre-loaded FlipShare
software now offers improved private sharing options and the
ability to quickly import contacts from their online email accounts
such as AOL™, Google™, Hotmail™ and Yahoo™. The private
sharing feature enables consumers to easily and privately share
their videos with friends and family - plus share comments on their
favorites. It's like having a private video community page for
people who want to share only with their friends and family.
Facebook App for Everyone
In addition to the FlipShare software enhancements, Flip Video
is launching a special Video Greeting Card app for Facebook that
invites everyone to create and send video greeting cards. The
greeting card can feature a Flip video or any other video footage
from a smart phone or other video device that is posted on a
person's Facebook page. Users can go to www.facebook.com/flipvideo
to use this fun new app.
