So they gave us these fancy new toys and left us to play. I’ve already highlighted a few of the cool things people have done so far, such as a live music jam on Yahoo! Live and myooVooday.com. But those are just the tip of the iceberg. Here are my top 10 suggestions for more fun and interesting things to do with multiuser video chat.
1. Improv Comedy
2. Sci-Fi Panel Discussion
3. Small Class Teaching
4. Book Club
5. Writer’s Critique Group
6. Family Time
7. Limited Access Interviews
8. PC Help
9. Learn sign language
10. Reenact Monty Python Skits
So what’s your list of top suggestions for multiuser video chat? Share one or two?

Topping offing my evening with ooVoo was worth it. Chris Cree, AnnOhio and I managed to get a quick chat together of the face to face sort. ooVoo enabled us to not only hear each but see as well, allowing us to express ourselves not just by sound by physically as well.
ooVoo isn’t really breaking ground with the idea of video chat, that said, they are definitely making it straightforward. It’s as easy as clicking the call button, and as easy as hitting invite to grow your chat. The platform appears to work well across both Mac and PC, and supports a variety of cameras and microphones.
I’ll be putting it through it’s paces in the near future and you can too at the upcoming my ooVoo day with event.
I encourage you to visit ooVoo.com and give it a try.
