Wengo Meeting - Take your next meeting online

wengo logoWengo Meeting, currently in private beta, allows you to invite up to four friends or business associates to video chat together for free. The service is completely web based with no software downloads required. Not surprisingly, Wengo Meeting was built by the same people who created the WengoPhone and WengoVisio.

As a Wengo Meeting user you select your meeting time and send email invitations to up to four participants along with an optional personal message. Meetings can be set up anywhere from a minute to over a year in advance. For meeting you plan extremely in advance you can also set up an email reminder to notify you of the conference anywhere between 1 and 24 hours in advance of the chat. The day of the chat everyone will be sent a URL that takes them immediately into the conference with no registration required for your chat participants.

Wengo Meeting is currently in private beta. I applied this morning and was given access within seconds.

Free multimedia on your site with Stickam

stickamThis one looks pretty interesting: Stickam provides a simple Flash tool for embedding video, pics, and audio in your website. More than that, they provide 500 MB of storage for these things, a playback utility (it's in the player you put on your site), no bandwidth restrictions, and cool webcam videoconference functionality for anyone with said device. Best of all, it runs on Linux, Windows, and a Mac (even works in Safari!), and it is free. I'm not really sure what the catch is, except that their official launch isn't until tomorrow, so get in while the line is short. One more bonus: you can upload pics and videos from your cellphone, ala Flickr. Check it out and see if it's better than sliced bread, because I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with it...

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
