Chat with as many people as you'd like, and video chat with up to four people at the same time, all in the same place with Orgoo chat.
Like the company’s multiclient e-mail and chat mashup, which I checked out back in September, it’s been designed with simplicity in mind and setup is about as [...]

We saw about 40 business-related Web 2.0 companies. Most of them were very early-stage, so you might not want to entrust your business [...]
