CEO co-founder Tim -- -- thank you so much for coming on the show.
So tell you why people do you want to do this I mean it.
What what is the difference between taking a video and then you know -- attaching their video to tax and sending it.
-- so the difference between yes shooting a video and sending it on a text or -- -- and six serious kind of difference between.
Taking a photo and -- that's in the mountains to Graham.
We make the whole process really easy while we make it easy to quite like a peaceful looking video message didn't lose very quickly over the move on that work.
And also the person -- the other -- they have to do is hit the reply button and and they can create a video message and send one back so it's all about making it very fond of them very easy.
Do you envision this and replacing texting me is that the idea or is it -- -- -- you -- like you do with your kids and send a video to their grandparents -- some bank.
I generally speaking I think it will on to texting -- it -- -- -- -- exist.
Not text is great photo sharing small -- of information.

Sometimes you can say a lot and a video message that you -- can't say enough in a text message or an email.

I'm a millions of Americans have made their minds up well not about which candidate beckon -- vote for well not likely posted video message to FaceBook quote -- -- To express themselves -- -- -- -- -- -- convince other people of that point diffuse Americana many different uses for video messages.
Does it take more bandwidth than sending a normal tax I mean is this going to be another one of those things as everybody.
You know is is on their mobile device surfing the web and it's you know all of a sudden we're using so much -- being with and it's slowing things down is this the same sort of bank.
I'm so -- uses a little bit more dates -- in the text message should be interesting thing we found is that about half of these -- of the people using on their cellphones is going on the -- find.
For the most part -- it doesn't really hate you or on.
You're you're among -- carry -- Kind of State's allocation.
-- -- I guess that the second piece here is that you don't necessarily gonna send hundreds of these in a week.
-- you know we see people morality or look relatively active sending about a dozen video messages.
And that usually falls well within the the -- that -- appetites -- interesting -- Tim thanks so much for coming on the show and good -- -- best.
