10:25 pm	Next Generation Web Cam Chat Rooms Some of you may still remember Netmeeting. It is still a part of Microsofts os's, but not a very well-known much less popular one nowadays. It had been the first mainstream approach to communicate online with a cam. It was designed as a point-to-point application and directories to find others were spread out over the internet with no central database. free chat Fast forward, almost 10 years later. It's rarely called interactive video now, but cam chat. It's still the same thing, it simply includes a different name and it has become quite a hype. Most cam chat rooms utilize Adobes Flash for that chat front-end with the Flash Application server as back end. The technology is nice, but expensive, because the flash application server doesn't run very cheap and needs quite a bit of server power to do its job. There are several large cam chats working with that technology already, providing decent resolution real time video. However, not long ago a brand new player entered the ring: Red5. Red5 is an open source flash application server much faster and more accessible than the monster created by Adobe. It's in beta state, but already is so stable that several sites happen to be launching self-made video forums. cam chat Once a technology opens up to the open source community, commercial products often need to take a step back. Red5 proves this on one site in particular: Vagipe. Vagipe is a completely free cam chat site allowing users to see up to five high res video streams at the same time, something unthinkable before. Cost-free for the application, very low resource use, and something lonely hobbyist can give away for free what needed quite a lot of money and manpower before. (Comment on this)
