Are these folks planning to build a monster portal/social networking site or gaming site? I could see them going after PopCap, Yahoo Games, EA/pogo, MSN and etc...... but with a unique approach of binding the users via live video. Very novel concept and could be the next phase of social networking and online gaming... Convergence of best of best? It would be very interesting to monitor HeyCosmo over the next few months... I wasn't able to find much info on their investors, but please share them!

I like what these folks have done, but support for FireFox maybe needed to allow a larger population to access and benefit from their offerings. These folks have built something very different than most web 2.0 start-ups and would like to see them making an impact. Are these folks ramping up and looking for a relationship with MySpace/Fox, Google, Yahoo, Electronics Arts, IAC? In my opinion, it would be very interesting to see how much progress they make over the next few months. Lastly... web-cams, live video and etc. is hitting the market hard! P.S. someone should arrange a HeyCosmo MeetUp session ;-) Like most people have already mentioned on this post.

We've all been waiting for something like this. Live video chat - catch up with old friends ...wish your parent's a happy anniversary ...walk through a training session with your east coast sales staff --all live. This can be applied to so many different applications. The poker game is just the tip of the iceberg for this kinda stuff. Keep up the good work HeyCosmo! Pretty interesting site.

Can someone please arrange a time/date maybe using meetup or whatever to coordinate a game?

Video as a social networking addition is a recent phenomena outside of porn. Heycosmo has at least frame the value of being their video tech around the idea of doing something together other than just talking. Operator11 has focused more on the Andy Warhol-esque people as personality. I think its too early to tell what will work. Though I suspect that it has more to do with game play and information dissemination than with voyeurism and exhibitionism.
