A new video chat software solution provides group chat resources to create video-based communities and interests groups. Now in beta stage and apparently targeted mainly at singles seeking social interaction, Camfrog, could also be leveraged for other great uses.
Key features include:
Works behind all firewalls, routers, and wireless networks
Multi-point videoconferencing
Public and private video chat rooms
User directory with photos makes it easy to meet someone new
High-quality audio and video
Buddy lists
Simple to use
No camera required to log in and view others
Free to download
The Camfrog environment and technology are well designed with innovative interface and usability solutions.
On the other hand the service is still in beta and the public rooms available do not offer much in the way of allowing an effective test of the tool as guests and curious onlookers seem to prefer a very light and serendipitous use of this new facility.
A Camfrog Video Chat Room Server is also available for users with a high-speed Internet connection.
System Requirements:
(for Camfrog Client and Camfrog Server)
Multimedia PC with a 233MHz processor or faster (500 MHz recommended)
Microsoft Windows 2000/Windows XP
