Yahoo Livetext - Video Chat

Yahoo Livetext - Video Chat

Welcome to Livetext for Android, the most natural way to have REAL conversations. It's live video texting, without sound. You will feel like your friends are right there with you. From courier mail, to the telephone, to text messaging - as humans, we have always searched for new, more convenient and more inventive ways to connect with others. These interactions form the foundation of our identity and sense of the world.  

 The advent of smartphones led a shift towards convenience and speed. We've gone from communicating primarily with our voices to using our fingers to text on glass. But somewhere, along the way we lost the natural flow of conversation. Our solution is to go back to the basics, by putting your words and your friend's real-time reactions at the center of your interaction. We've removed audio from the equation, as it's rarely convenient in today's fast-paced world.  

 Livetext transforms simple conversations into rich,fun, and memorable experiences. It's an entirely new way to stay in touch. For example, livetext your friends no matter where you are—whether you're hanging out with other friends, at a ballgame, in a club, or commuting on a train— and share a goofy face or a glimpse of the world around you.  

 Texting is better, together. 


Key Features: 

 FREE FOREVER: You and your friends can live video text as much as you want! Livetext uses your internet connection (Wi-Fi when available and your cell connection otherwise.) ONE-TO-ONE: Not for group messaging, it's like you're passing notes in class. TEXT + LIVE VIDEO: Both at the same time - it's amazing. NO CALLS: Just live video text your friends and you'll see them instantly when they enter chat. ADD FRIENDS: Use their Livetext ID or your address book contacts to connect. PROFILE PICTURE: Use any image to show your friends who you are.

AV by AOL - The simplest way to video chat?

If you want (or need) to do a video chat with someone who is not, shall we say, up to speed on the whole internet thingie, and who has fond associations with the AOL brand, this may be the way to go. There's nothing to install, it's entirely web-based, and difficult to screw up. You can chat with up to three other people (four including you).

Information about an an online degree in technology via Guide to Online Schools may be of interest to you if you want to develop cool apps.

According to the Gmail blog, today's launch day, but the feature will be rolled out to everyone over the next day or two.
