Hi Sherman,
hello from Berlin/Germany
I have a question about your headset. Can you tell me what headset you use and if it is compatible with a normal telephone?
Regards
Dominik
PS: See you on the socialmedia telesummit. I hope it´s worth the time and money
Hi Dominik from Berlin – thanks for stopping by
That headset is a noise-canceling headset from Bose, something I use for when I fly and want to cancel out airline sound and keep my iPod music clean.
Its something you plug into your laptop/computer, and if your phone takes 1/8″ plugs, then you’re good to go with this or any other type of noise-canceling headset.
RE: SMT – it’ll be fun, informative and educational. Definitely much less $ than attending a live conference. Plus this way you get to attend the event in your shorts in the comfort of your own home
Cheers!
I have to have this one…. I could just imagine it now
U mentioned file sharing? is there a limit on the size of the file?
Hi Lafeeu – I work with Joseph Jaffe at crayon (ooVoo is our client). The size limit on file sharing is 25MB. Full details are available at http://www.oovoo.com
I think oovoo stole that idea from the Brady Bunch?
How come Alice isn’t in the middle?
Seriously, very cool.
Can somebody actually participate in these chats from a video enabled cell phone?
Either the Brady Bunch or the Jetsons…
Cell phone video chat isn’t available – yet. It may be in ooVoo’s future. But you can be dialed in on your phone by other participants so you’re an audio-only participant. This feature is currently enabled in the PC version.
