Video Chat-Not with WengoVisio

WengoVisio is an offshoot of Wengo.com (Beta), a video/audio enabled expert market website. I signed up a few months ago to evaluate how it works. What intrigued me was the possibility of conducting real-time consulting via live video and
providing video lessons or exercises on demand. All seamlessly integrated with instant payment processing. Finish your session and walk away with money in the bank if your client is satisfied. Can't beat the concept!

Alas, at the time I could not make the video widget work. As my custom, I revisit promising video related web services from time to time to keep up with things. So I find that now they have a new video offering at WengoVisio.com...





along with this new widget, which still doesn't work.... Maybe one day, hopefully soon, it will. This is such a great example of a useful web video application, it would be a shame if it got derailed on, what looks like a relatively minor technical issue.

ON A DIFFERENT NOTE...

A welcome change you'll see in the right colum from now on is the multi-blog bookmarking and subscription buttons, courtesy of AddThis.com. They enable you to list us, or subscribe to us on your favorite social bookmarking site with only a few clicks, right from there.

P.S. WENGOVISIO UPDATE FROM GUIREC

That was quick! In his reply to me Guirec says that the widget doesn't work with WordPress blogs yet; they are working on a full-flash release, which should be out by the end of March.

We'll check out WengoVisio in a month or so and add it to this and other sites and blogs if it works. Thanks Guirec for being so responsive!
