Thread Name: Maybe new HEARME on Telcopoint
Subject: RE: Maybe new HEARME on Telcopoint
kat, I took a look at all the sites you linked above. You're right, the first one seems not to have voice capability. HearMe for ICQ appears to either be a one on one chat or depend on invites for persons to get in, I'm not sure which. Excite chat looks like a possibility and, since I see they have chat (I assume text only at this point) for Macs, they might be more responsive to our Mac users than HearMe or Paltalk seem to have been. I agree that Voice Chat looks like it might have possibilities, but I wonder what they'd think of our reason for using it.

I've come to the conclusion it's time to look at the possibility of programming our own solution. I'm certainly not an expert programmer, but since I'm retired I guess I could at least take a little time to look at what it takes. Doubt that this would provide any short term solution, though.
