You can call me legendary: my ooVoo-Nights

First of all apologies to Marshall Kirkpatrick. His myoovooday session was the one I could actually attend without setting my alarm clock, but I missed it due to stupidity.

That said, call me legendary, please, it must be true, because Joseph Jaffe does 😉

Lots of fun Sunday night and yesterday night, joining Joseph and Mitch Joel for their promo-session on ooVoo.

I am not sure this is THE future, but definitely a great tool to hold private conferences, send video messages and chat. Where is the difference to Skype? First off, the 6-people video conference seems a major advantage. The alpha Mac version I am using is a bit heavy on the CPU, but the quality of video and audio was great. The difference to iChat on the Leopard? Can’t tell, because I am still on Tiger.

I did check for friends via Gmail-addressbook dump in, some usual suspects are already in (you can see Shel Holtz in one screen shot, and I missed Neville Hobson in the Kirkpatrick session), from Germany so far only Oliver Gassner. The 6-person chat needs a fair bit of moderation, but otherwise is good fun, we talked about Social Media vs. Social, music and blogging CEOs. Check it out. (Mac version via the myoovooday-Website)

Myoovooday is actually a neat idea, getting several celebreties to agree to talk to the blogosphere, hats off to Crayon (don’t worry, audio comment will follow).
