Skype users – Check out Sightspeed.com for Video chat

Sightspeed.com Video Chat

For anyone here in China who uses Skype to chat with family and friends in your home country, you may want to check out Sightspeed.com.

Like Skype, you can get a free or pro account. But for the most part, you can do everything you need with a free account. If you did however want to try the pro account, there is a 30 day free trial for skype users.

The pro account has a neat record feature which would be very cool for anyone who wants to make a video podcast.

With regards to the China Blogosphere, I’m surprised that no one has started using the Pamela Skype recorder to make a neato radio show yet.

I’d love to give it a try.

Maybe if my schedule clears up…

    Have you tried the pro plan with the multiple party (up to 4) video calls? How is the service from here in China to the States?

    Thanks.

    I just wanted to post a follow up on this software. After using it several times with other people for the video conferencing, I have found that it works great, and it has replaced our Skype setup that we were using. This is a great piece of software that even runs great in Vista 64bit. Thanks for this and I’ll see ya around.

    I heard a lot about video conferencing going around these days. Back then 1999 I never thought I will ever see this innovation which I only seen it first in Jetsons and Star Trek.

    Instead of spending money on business trips it’s better to invest money on purchasing best and reliable video conferencing equipment for live meetings.

  • What a PSP Phone may look like March 14, 2010
    Some interesting images are emerging from a Chinese website M8cool.com. Apparently patience is not one of the virtues of the shanzhai (loosely meaning, imitation) industry, as they love to kick out early prototypes and images of not-yet-released gadgets. The latest one of these is the PSP Phone.  […]

  • Human-Powered Washing Machine March 14, 2010
    What do you get when you cross a treadmill with a washing machine? Give up? Something that looks a little like this, actually. A kid by the name of Zhang Jiayu from the northeastern Liaoning province thought that conventional washing machines wasted far too much electricity. He then had the bright idea of creating one that was powered by a man running on top […]

  • China Says Goodbye to Google With Cartoons March 14, 2010
    Since Google announced that they would no longer continue to censor in China, pretty much everybody has assumed that they won't be able to remain in the country. That may turn out to be the case. I'm not going to speculate too much on the issue, because there's way more than enough being said already. In the midst of all that headache, I do wa […]

  • China ice sculpture tragically made entirely from beer March 14, 2010
    The city of Harbin in northern China is widely known for it's freeze-your-snowballs-off temperatures and it's annual ice festival. Domestically, the city is also known for it's beer. Sadly, some wiseguy decided to combine the two to create a ginormous ice sculpture with nothing more than copious amounts of frozen beer. Such a waste... […]

  • China's xpPhone to be upgraded to Win7Phone? March 14, 2010
    The Chinese xpPhone was itself thought to be a rumor until engadget China reported on it last month. Sadly, it looks like this monstrosity does indeed exist. And what's more, it looks like it might soon be upgrading to Windows 7. Nevermind that the real Windows 7 Mobile won't be coming out until late next year. As usual, China has us covered with t […]

  • Best Chinese Knockoff Ever? Sony VAIC TT March 14, 2010
    There's something ingenius about taking an 'O' and making it a 'C.'  It's so subtle. So clever. It boggles the mind with possibilities: Orec cookies anyone? Maybe a little Cvaltine to wash it down?  Ok, maybe not. But that's generally the idea behind this 'Viac' 'Vaic,' a shanzhai version of the tiny Son […]
