FAQs
Q: What is FunMail?
A: An exciting new way to communicate with with people. FunMail transforms text messages, tweets, and Facebook updates into relevant visual messages.
Q: How does FunMail work?
A: You type a message in the FunMail composer. Your message is quickly analyzed by FunMail's "Media Brain" technology, which selects several relevant images from a large, growing library of content. Send the FunMail to friends and family just like you would a text message or update.
Q: Can you give me an example?
A: In the “Type your message” field, input the phrase “Let’s get lunch” and you’ll see various images from hamburgers, to hot dogs, to bag lunches, with the “Let’s get lunch” phrase rendered over them.
Q: What if I type a message and don't get a relevant image?
A: The Media Brain is very intelligent, but not all knowing. The magic with the Media Brain is that it learns by identifying what images are needed and makes requests for those "missing" images. It also learns how to find the best FunMail for you based on your previous choices. Each time you use the Media Brain, you help make it smarter.
Q: How many characters can I type in my FunMail message?
A: FunMail works best with shorter messages (a sentence or two), but can process up to 140 characters. If you use very long words or URLs, the lines can look small.
Q: How many FunMails can I share?
A: Share as many as you'd like!
Q: Is FunMail available anywhere beside this web site?
