Hello Robert,
Thank you for inviting me to participate in your Forum. This is a subject that is very close to my heart. I started working on the internet in 1997 looking not just for something that I could make money from, but something that would give ma an opportunity to help other people to enjoy a better life.
My search took me to many different programs, and although I was never one who fell for the "get rich quick" schemes, I did end up spending thousands of dollars, and wasting a lot of valuable time. At age 81 time is not a commodity that I can afford to waste.
However, in January 2003 I received an email from a fellow marketer in Florida with whom I had exchanged many emails and general information. At one time when my wife was in the hospital, she started a prayer wheel for her, which ended up overtaxing my computer with emails from all over the world. She was an astronomer and had friends all over the world so they were all sending us prayers and good wishes., even recipies, and medicines. That's when I began to really see the power of this industry.
Anyway my friend who was 80 years old at the time, has since passed on, but she put me in touch with a young man in New Hampshire who was doing a prelaunch for a company that was about to launch the first VIDEO EMAIL program. After reading all the info, and doing a little research on the company etc. I joined them when they launched in June 2003. It has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my 81 years.
The company's motto- "CHANGING LIVES-CONNECTING PEOPLE" is not an idle one. They literally do change peoples' lives every day. The concept is awesome. Bring STREAMING MEDIA TECHNOLOGY to the masses. Technology which was once only available to the Fortne 500 companies because of its enormous cost, is now available to everyone who owns a computer.
Imagine a family in New York City whose grandparents live in Germany (Or anywhere else) who can go to a computer click to open an email message and instead of having to read text, gets a VIDEO message from the family in New York. Imagine the excitement of seeing and hearing their loved ones. I could just see them calling all the neighbours on the phone to invite them to come over to witness this happening. That's what we do. and it is happening all over the world.
The rewards are two-fold. You make people happy by bringing families together in a format never seen before, and you can make a ton of money doing so. Forrester Research an Independent Internet Research company has predicted that by the end of 2008 Streaming Media over the internet will be the standard medium for internet communications for business and pleasure. It's already happening, and it is growing fast.

I'll end my thread with a personal experience I had on May 19, 2007. I went into my HelloWorld account to see if I could find any information as to the WORLD CUP of CRICKET which at the time was being held on the Island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean (That's were I was born). Much to my surprize, I saw a button under Who's on now" which had the LOGO for the match. I opened it up, and a gentleman from the BBC was doing a live radio broadcast using our Hello World product. At the bottom of the screen is a small box for interactive participation. The announcer asked anyone who wanted to be recognized to just enter their name and a brief message. I entered my name Allan Auguste, and I wrote that I am a native son of St.Lucia now residing in the New Jersey, USA, and enjoying listening to the live broadcast of the match from my home. That was awesome. I knew then that I was in the right place at the right time in history for what is about to take place.
The best part of our product is that no one has to stop what they are doing. This only enhances and helps grow your business to a level not previously attainable.
