As always, our rules for inclusion of cool features is that they won't require you to download, install or purchase any software (outside of perhaps a browser plugin).

Paltalk offered their embed-able free video chat so I tried it, but their incessant badgering to download the app was unbearable. The product they offer, from the host's side, that I would want is over $80 per month anyway. Junk!

That being said, I reopened the room "mudcatcafe" if anyone wants to try it out. Above, or try this.


I'm predicting (hoping) that Google+ will merge technologies with Google Friend Connect and solve a dozen of our shortcomings. No software needed.

Still hunting for the ultimate virtual audio/video song sharing environment... Stay tuned.
