Got a Gripe with Skype? Maybe ooVoo's for You

The other night I was talking to my brother in law, Dan, through Skype. He is helping me with some projects and it helps to talk to each other "face to face" (he lives in Ohio and I live in Georgia). After we finished our conversation his wife, my sister, called from my parents house in FL. We had a 3 way call going and were enjoying the family chat. We were disappointed in the fact that we could not video chat as a group. Dan saved the day when he found ooVoo. We all downloaded the program immediately and began our group video chat. You can have up to six people in a video chat. Another great feature is that you can expand the video to full screen. You can leave video messages for people and make free phone calls. You can record a video call for playback later(I don't know what you could use this for). I will continue to use Skype day to day as I am familiar with it and have all my business contacts stored there. ooVoo has become my default for keeping in touch with the family as it makes our silly conversations that much more fun.
