I hope it won't change you. Yes, video messaging is one of those things that should be a useful business tool, but hasn't really gone mainstream yet for some reason. In my experience, there's a kind of awkwardness about speaking to someone on a computer screen. I can't put my finger on what it is, perhaps the slight time delay, or the awkard "not sure who's turn it is to speak" silences. Having said that I believe we will all be communicating by video in a few years. I was uncomfortable using a mobile phone ten years ago (I'm a late adopter) and couldn't see the point of email, but these have both become as natural as breathing, and transformed the way we do business today.
