Do you ooVoo?

There are plenty of ways to video conference on the Internets, but the new service ooVoo lets you do just a little bit more than the other options. You can have one-on-one chats or talk with up to six people at once, with everyone on screen simultaneously. Like IM, you can send text messages and files. If you try to call someone and there’s no answer, you can leave a text, voice or video message for them that’s receivable on any computer. You can even check your call history and select a personal ringer for you account.
One of its better features is the ability to record and send video messages to anyone whether they’re ooVoo users or not as well as sending messages to multiple people at the same time. Also, you can drop your ooVoo link in your e-mail signature or on a blog, MySpace page, Web site, etc. etc., so people can instantly click through to ooVoo you.
The software and service is free, but it’s currently Windows only. A Mac version will be ready soon, though.

I installed it an used it today the first time and the sound and video is wonderful.
Sadly no OOVOO for Linux, why is always Linux behind?
When will be there a version for Linux and will it have also video for Linux?
Wonderful soft phone.

pfff ! Try to think about another way to see your computer and the dependancy you feed between your OS and you with this kind of post. It’s really healthy to ask developpers to include very early portability in their roadmap. Better for everyone, and technologies do exist for that.
Why “Cannot be FREE” ? Successful examples of business models based on open and free softwares are numerous, so it’s not yet to demonstrate.

It looks great on the first look and specs sound impressive.
I just installed it so I don’t have many comments about it.
One think only is that I didn’t find a way to see users which are online at the moment (except from those on contact list). Skype has that feature and its quite helpful to search for online people and chat.
If anyone knows anything about it, please leave a comment.

Hey Peac4u I am actually a representative of ooVoo and can try and answer some of the questions you asked. I am not one of the techie guys but I think the idea of showing all users on line is a feature distinct to the peer-to-peer technology utilized by Skype wereas ooVoo is a server based application. This means that you are not sharing any computer resources to support other users of the system. As I am sure you have noticed ooVoo is very resource light and hence leading to the ability to have up to 6 people video-chatting at once.
As to the question of Linux I do know that ooVoo is working on a Linux version that will be coming out some time in the near future.
I hope I was informative and helpful. If anyone else has a question about ooVoo please feel free to contact me.
Thanks

Hi there,
I just have one lingering question: How the company made money out of this? What is the business model?
In other words: Where is the CATCH??

If Oovoo doesn’t supply linux versions, migrate over to http://www.mebeam.com that runs in any browser on ANY operating system (supporting flash)
