Hope they don’t pull a video egg and bail on all the sites that depend on them for video hosting.

Actually khris, Meebo has been doing this for a while, with “meebo rooms” and any video source that can be embedded. One could also do this on justin tv, ustream tv, etc.

No revenue-sharing opportunity though, but how compelling is that yet-to-be-released feature?

Are you sure you understand all other relevant product offerings enough to know the significance of this?

Nice work Mike!

Putting chat and video together is a great idea!

Until now video has been a solo experience, this opens the possibility for spontaneous communities to gather around video….Consider the chat rooms that will form around major political and social events captured on video.

This is big…
