ooVoo

I've been Skype-ing with friends and family for quite awhile. I Skype with Buzz at Braylu Creations often so we can discuss and demonstrate vent parts and projects. Well, there's a new video call program associated with Facebook called ooVoo. Ventriloquist John Savale contacted me about it and invited me to download the program and "ooVoo" him. Which I did. We visited for quite awhile online.  He's building a figure and I was able to share a few tips about this and that. We discovered we have other common interests beyond ventriloquism. John is a very nice fellow and it was a pleasure getting to know him.

One cool advantage over Skype is that you can have as many as 12 people in a video chat room at one time. Skype charges a membership fee to do that, but ooVoo provides that option free. So I suspect as more ventriloquists discover the ooVoo service, we may have some lively conference calls from time to time. That should be fun.
