Regardless of whether it's Google services or not, I'd like to put in a
word for video calls.

In the past year and a half, I've come to really appreciate video calls. In
my experience, meetings held via video are universally more on track and
productive. I much prefer them over phone only calls now.

They do tend to have more technical difficulties and they often get started
more slowly as people figure out technical difficulties. IRC, etherpad, and
even phone, don't seem to have that problem. They also require a good
internet connection and the right hardware.
