    This has gotten a lot of attention on the card-scene, I thought I might as well share it here as well.

    It's basically multiple-camming, you can use your webcam and microphone to cam and talk with up to 7 people at a time.
    I don't know if it's as interesting with penspinning as it is for cards, but I thought I'd share anyway just in case.

    Enjoy.

    Might be cool for doing things like if one person was teaching another a specific trick. Or if a group of people were working on a combo together or something like that. I might use it.

    I think this is a great tool. Sat there a pretty long time talking and having fun with alot of Swedes =)
    Kinda like a mass convo on msn, but with cams also.

    Wouldn't it have massive lag?

    Not really actually. We were 5-6 people there yesterday and I didn't hear anyone complaining about lagging except for this one guy. He didn't complain, but we did when we heard our voices 20 seconds later.
    The cam quality isn't the best when you're that many, but if you're only 2-3 people, the quality gets better.
    One problem we discovered tho is that you must have headphones on, else it's impossible to speak to eachother.
