Free Video Sharing Service for Military Spouses,
Families, and Soldiers
Video sharing
service links military families and communities
around the world to watch, upload, and share their
personal videos.
Emporia, VA -
October 18, 2006 -- Military Spouse Channel (a
subsidiary of VSSCyberOffice.com) today announced
that they will launch their own free online video
sharing service created exclusively for military
spouses, families, and soldiers. The free service is
open to personnel from all branches of the military
community to include: retirees, national guard,
reservists, veterans and their family members.
Members of the Military Spouse Channel Video Sharing
community will be able to:
• Browse and watch videos
• Upload and share their own personal videos
• Embed videos into their own blog, personal website
or Myspace pages
• Rate and Post Comments to favorite videos
• Subscribe to other member's videos
• Create private video sharing groups
• Invite family and friends to share videos
• Manage their own personal video content
• Add searchable tags to videos
"Over the last year, there has been a plethora of
free consumer-based Web sites dedicated to video
sharing. There are, however, very few websites
providing online video sharing solutions that
connect military personnel to their family and
friends," said Victoria Parham, US Army veteran and
president of VSSCyberOffice.com. "In the past, phone
cards, letters, and email have been a big hit when
it comes to keeping military families connected, but
thanks to broadband technology, we can step it up a
notch and now connect via video."
"Military spouses love seeing and hearing their
soldier's voice, military kids love seeing and
talking to their deployed moms, dads and dispersed
classmates, moms and dads get a kick out of seeing
and chatting with their deployed sons and daughters,
grandparents connecting to grand kids, retirees
connecting with retirees. The list just goes on and
the possibilities are endless."
The new video sharing service will allow all
military families to connect, watch, upload, and
share their personal videos for free 24/7.

business owners industry though still in its infancy
is growing at a steady rate and will continue to
grow as long as technology continues to evolve and

family balance on the minds of younger generations,
more people (particularly, women) will begin to
launch their own virtual companies in an effort to
have work and family balance. As this trend
continues to grow, virtual business owners will need
to stay abreast of the issues that affect their
industry as well as their virtual companies.
VSSCyberOffice has taken the lead with the launch of
this new initiative".
The company has several production projects in the
works and recently re-launched its' popular "Ask

VSSCyberOffice Adds Virtual
Assistant Primer Course to Distance eLearning
Program - Virtual Assistants invest in
themselves and in their companies through formalized
training and mentorship.
Emporia, VA (PRWEB) October 3, 2005 --
VSSCyberOffice today announced the addition of a new
course module to its current online vLearning Center
Knowledge Portal, called, "Introduction to Virtual
Assistance 101", a primer, self directed, distance
elearning course for individuals who are interested
in exploring career opportunities as a Virtual

A Virtual Assistant (VA) is defined by
VSSCyberOffice as "an independent contractor who
supports a number of disbursed clients around the
corner or around the globe (administratively in
nature) using a combination of collaborative tools
and technologies such as efax, cell phone, palm
pilots, two-way pagers, instant messaging with
video, interactive websites, email, interactive
meeting rooms and lots of creativity".

According to Victoria Parham, president and founder

industry is evolving at a steady pace with new
Virtual Assistants launching practices everyday.
However, to remain competitive, Virtual Assistants
will need to invest in themselves and in their
companies through formalized training and
mentorship." "As the industry continues to evolve,
companies with larger scale outsourcing budgets will
begin seeking the expertise of record-driven Virtual
Assistants and Virtual Business Owners to help
support their long-term goals and initiatives", said
Parham.

Defense Virtual Business Ownership Training Program
Initiative that trains and mentors military spouses

VSSCyberOffice Opens Web-Based
Virtual Business Owners Online Training Program to
the General Public Online Training Program Helps
Business Owners Keep Pace in a Competitive Global
Marketplace
Emporia, VA -- March 28, 2005 -- VSSCyberOffice.com
today announced plans to further expand its existing
online virtual business owner's training program to
keep pace with the growing interest in virtual
business startups, telecommuting and work at home
initiatives.
VSS's online training programs educate wanna-be
virtual business owners on the latest virtual
working trends and the how-tos of starting, growing,
and managing a successful online business. "Today's
technology makes it possible for business owners to
sell their products and services to anyone
regardless of geography," said Victoria Parham, the
company's president and chief technology officer.
"The traditional business marketplace of 10-15 years
ago doesn't work for today. Companies are
outsourcing jobs at every level to include entire
departments. Small business owners (whether an
independent contractor, free agent, or consultant)
must position themselves to compete effectively,
confidently, and successfully in this new and
evolving global marketplace. Technologies like
high-speed Internet, web conferencing, web-cams,
voice-over-Internet protocol, instant messenger, and
wi-fi have in many ways leveled the playing field in
that business owners can now work from a virtual
home office offering quality products and services
at truly competitive prices."
