Reach Out And Talk

Looks like the boy at Google have another idea for their Google Chrome browser. They have improved Chrome version 23 to allow us to use the W3C devised P2P communications protocols. See here for some install instructions: http://blog.bistri.com/post/35207253773/be-the-first-to-make-webrtc-video-calls  and the Bistri home page is here.

So this is a tool that lets us chat, text, video conference and/or talk to other contacts we known on our favorite social media. Sign up for me was quick as i already had both google mail and facebook accounts (though not required).

I also wanted to explore the possibilities to inter-connect with all my Skype contacts. Dunno if this will do away with my growing Skype phone bill – perhaps so – stay tuned.

The only limit for some of us older Apple iMac users is that our aging PPC processors cannot run the newer versions of Google Chrome, hence, to use Bistri, we will need a piece of kit that runs Google Chrome version 23 or later – sigh :{
