Lamar Morgan 954-603-7901 | | It was about a week or so ago that I received a Skype chat link from a friend in Australia. I clicked on the link and suddenly I found myself looking at a video conference with six video screens. Now, this was associated in some way with Twitter.com. I was amazed at the quality of both the video and the sound. Was anyone on this network also watching this video podcast and can tell me how this was done via Twitter.com?

Penny Haynes | | Without seeing the link, I can't be sure. But they were probably using oovoo.com, as Leesa Barnes shared before. It lets you do 6 webcam chats at a time. But it's not through Twitter. Twitter just lets you put a link in your messages.
A real podcast needs to have a special tag in its RSS feed called an enclosure tag - so that post wouldn't be considered a podcast, any more than any other page or post with a link to embedded media.
Still, it's a very cool way to get people to see what you've created. I click on stuff people send me if it interests me.

Lamar Morgan 954-603-7901 | | Penny,
I think this was done through oovoo.com. Let me see if I have this figured correctly. Someone is in the conference room. The conference is "live." That person copies the link she sees in her browser, goes to her Twitter page and sends a tweet which includes that link. Then, she decides to send me a Skype chat message about this conference. So, what do I see when the message come to me via Skype? A Twitter.com link. But, the conference is not taking place on Twitter.com. It is taking place on oovoo.com.
Do you think it is a good idea to send out tweets about live conferences while they are in progress with their actual link? I never really gave it a thought until you sent me this message. What do you think?
