If I recall it allowed up to 8 people on at once back in the late 90s. Why is this technology so slow to come to light? Will it have the same potential for Webcam orgies as CSM did? Time will only tell. Also, how did they get Harry Potter to make a cameo in that screen cap? Reminds me of CuSeeMe. If I recall it allowed up to 8 people on at once back in the late 90s.

This free service could be a very important tool for us to stay connected and coordinate activities. We currently use Skype but the ability to have a video chat with six members of the team at once will most likely encourage us to make the switch.
