Abstract
A system and method for storing, recording, and perusing video messages as a messaging service. The opt-in method manages the processes of creating and replaying the video through an application interface available to registered users. Callers are able to witness greetings left by boxholders and, in turn, record their own messages or follow up through other communication channels. Boxholders are able to leave one or more greetings, potentially designating greetings to specific callers, as well as managing the messages left by their callers. Video files can also be uploaded as greetings or messages through an alternative interface.
