Skyecandy Releases Demo for Video Speed Dating on Skype

Sydney, NSW (PRWEB) June 30, 2009 — In preparation for a global launch, Skyecandy, the first online video dating service to introduce free video speed dating on Skype, today announced the release of a full online Demo to showcase the exclusive features of the service.

The Skyecandy Demo is now available to the public in High Definition on Youtube and is also located for Skyecandy members at http://www.skyecandy.com/demo.
Narrated using the voice of Bob Stephenson, the Skyecandy Demo walks a viewer step by step through the Skyecandy video dating experience, from how to download and install the Skyecandy Skype app to continuing free communication with a successful speed date partner.

Using a combination of animated characters and real people, the Skyecandy Demo focuses on informing viewers how to:

• download Skyecandy Skype app from Skype’s Tools menu
• register
• use an Interactive Map to see real-time information of users online and popular times of use around the world
• check-in to meet people on Skype
• video date
• vote Yes or No
• rate a speed date partner’s friendliness
• make personal Reminder Notes
• send P.S notes to someone you vote Yes to
• check successful speed date Results
• and continue free communication using Skyecandy Cheeky notes and Skype

“Apart from being one of the few really polished applications available for Skype, what I really like about it is the care that went into producing the introduction video. Anyone who has ever released a product should take note, this sets the bench mark in product teaser videos,” said Lester Madden, the former Platform Manager responsible for the Skype Extras Manager.
