Skype is really good, but, only point-to-point. It might be interesting to have all the sites on May connected together in a Virtual Watercooler.???
I can look into getting something comped from a videoconferencing vendor....to connect ALL the sites at the same time....if you all are interested. See my Technical Blog for a lot more info on what can be used: telbitconsulting.wordpress.com (Links to some are below) Some systems that would be great for this include (all you need is a PC and web cam) the apps are downloaded and, in general, work really well (and conserve BW): Radvision Scopia http://telbitconsulting.wordpress.com/2008/12/19/radvision-scopia-desktop-review/ Vidyo http://telbitconsulting.wordpress.com/2009/01/23/vidyodesktop-review/ ooVoo http://telbitconsulting.wordpress.com/2007/11/02/oovoo-for-video-communication/ SightSpeed http://telbitconsulting.wordpress.com/2007/11/11/sightspeed/ iocom (based on open source...but now commercial) http://telbitconsulting.wordpress.com/2009/02/18/iocom-review/ Tandberg Movi I have not reviewed this yet but have seen it.....very nice. There are more.... This could be very interesting, and there is enuf time to get the ball rolling.... If this *not* something you might want to try...let me know and I'll be quiet, but, since this is my specialty.....I tend to run and do ;-) Mike Scott Tillitt / Antidote Collective wrote: > BEAHIVE in Beacon, NY, is opening May 1.
