Video Conference Shred

I remember one session a few years ago where Evan Lovely brought his laptop and we had a video conference shred with the Boise Crew.

Does anyone know anything about video conferencing?

If I don't have a webcam, can I attach my video camera to the laptop for video conferencing?

It would be fun to shred with everyone from around the world without having to wait for tournies you may or may not be able to go to.

I posted this a while ago. It's about a website called meebo.com

If your video camera has web cam functionality, you can video conference with it. Mine can, so I'm in for some internet shred.

Daryl and I shred with Allan Haggett sometimes. We use the video chat in ichat. It runs pretty good if you have a nice blank wall behind you.

i dont exactly have a nice background but i would make it work somehow.

okay, that's what meebo is. I didn't know what it was, so I never bothered to check out that thread.

This sounds awesome. It would be awesome for me since i rarely ever get to go to tournaments. I'm up for some video conference shred, just not in ichat, I'm on PC. But if anyone knows of any free high quality programs, that owuld be sweet.
