FFM - Toss
 
     
 

Imagine this: You get an E-mail message from a friend. Clicking on the URL takes you to a Web page. It's a beautiful multimedia birthday card for a mutual friend. It's been signed by lots of people you know. You add your own personal touch with a witty message and send it on to the next signer.

On the appropriate date, the birthday person gets an E-mail message pointing to a web page. It's the birthday card , with personal messages from all those friends. Cool.

All you need is an Email reader and a Web browser. You have just been Tossed.

Toss is a new personal information delivery and communication technology developed by Fresh Fish Media. A Toss application uses small text E-mail messages for notification ("push"). The browser then "pulls" interactive multimedia up to the viewer -- on demand.

The Toss Engine server does all the rest.

 
 

Here are examples of some soon to be released Toss applications:

  • WebToob: a Humor Entertainment Network with extensive animation and multimedia.
  • Mime Toss: Toss a virtual Mime artist through the Internet. Kick him around a little at each stop then Toss him to someone else. Keep it rolling and see how far it can go.
  • Rumor Mill: Alice starts a rumor and Tosses it to Bob. Bob takes her story and retells it in his own words. Carol takes Bob's story and Tosses it on. See how juicy rumors spread, except you can follow this rumnor's path on a map of the globe.
  • Birthday Card: Send a multimedia birthday card to a loved one, personally signed by any number of mutual friends and family.
  • StoryMaker: Participate in progressive storymaking over the Internet. Be creative. You can stay anonymous if you want.
  • Word Of Mouth: Get a review of the latest movies, books, theater and art. Then add your own opinions. Get automatic recommendations from others with similar tastes.
  • Mentor: Pose a question, then get replies from a worldwide network of experts.
 
 

A White Paper and detailed technical specification on e Toss Engine will be coming soon.

Stay tuned.
