Wow, I tell you it’s an exciting time to be a Skype user. Seems like every few days I’m hearing about something new and cool totry.

 

So we now have two competing Skypevideo tools. vSkype (I’ve installed, but not really tried) andSpontania’s video4skype (downloaded, not installed).

 

I haven’t read a review of video4skype, but Michael and Neville have both talked about it.  It looks promising to me.  Theunbelievable number of participants (200) is mind boggling and beingable to app/screen share is cool.  Couple problems with bothsolutions, Windows only and the other party has to have both Skype and that plugin for it to all work.  Now that QumanaLE is out, I think I’ll be doing online training for it—not that you needany training to use it—and I think I’ll stick with my sponsor ConvoqASAP because all the participate needs is a browser that supports Flash.

 

 

The other interesting new tool coming out of beta—thanks for the sneak peak Andrew!—is Jyve—Skype Portal - Jyve. This has been out in beta for a while with the Jyve card.  WellAndrew and his team have some pretty darn cool things up theirsleeve.  Their new plugin is sure to be a hit.  Don’t thinkits public yet, so I’ll keep this close, but I’ve been running it allweek and if you’ve IMed me while I’ve been away, you’ve gotten a littletaste.

 

The Skype revolution continues!
