I don’t like the video at all -it lags and skips, stalls my browser, and having audio blast unexpectantly from my speakers was not pleasant at all.

I am trying to find a vanity number, not watch videos. Thanks anyway! I’ll try elsewhere.

It turns out that “Jill” is a comment spammer according to the references to his or her IP address: 74.52.215.194 and what you find when you Google “74.52.215.194″. Their ISP is ThePlanet.com based in Dallas Texas. I’ll leave this up, only because we’ve already responded to it and because she also posted a negative comments which spanned a large post about our business. And this post helps to put his or her criticizm into perspective and show its shallowness. I still think he or she may be a competitor in the shared use business.

If anyone does have problems with the video please say so, but comment spammers, please crawl back into the swamp where you belong and find something better to do with your time.

Love the video Bill! In my search for a 1800 number, your site was the 3rd site I landed on. The video immediately grabbed my attention. I watched the entire presentation. It certainly accomplished it’s purpose…and very well! I don’t remember the last time I stayed on a website this long to check out all the great information you’ve provided. Thanks for the info. I’ll be back again very soon.

The video has pretty good controls on the botom and we made it pause before anything happens and when the text of the benfits comes in too before any sound. But maybe we could put some soft music up front to let it start more gradually and give people a chance to turn it down if it’s not appropriate.

I will also as ispeakvideo.com if there’s a way to make it remember if it’s turned off so you don’t need to do that repeatedly if you go back to the home page, at least in the same visit.

Thanks for the input. If anyone else is in that situation, and the sound is an issue, let us know. We’ve used sound before because I think it’s helpful to both personalize it and explain things more easily on our text and informational heavy site.

What do YOU think?…

Very Nice, and Informative; the smile at the end shows good character. As far as video quality, it is fine. The audio track however, is very ambient. I would use something along the lines of a Neumann TLM-103 mic on a Mackie Onyx-based preamp, record the audio track into a computer, and apply a “compressor” (Cakewalk Sonar has several) and your voice will be very easy to hear. bold, and clear. This is a good option for a low budget but long term investment to record your audio; otherwise you can have it recorded by a 3rd party studio. At the moment, it seems like your using a boom mic in an echo’y room, and I can hear equipment and/or line noise.

I’m very detailed and im only trying to give feedback, not insult, so please don’t misunderstand!!! I am bad at explaining things unless their technical, so there it is.

Anyway, I hope all your efforts with tollfreenumbers.com is a major success. They should be, because there is no service like yours. Everything you said in the video is true, true, true.
