What is the best video messenger?
i was thinking about sending video messages to my family. currently, we use Second Life history logs to communicate where we can chat back and forth, not email. also, we can leave messages when others are not around this way. what programs are the best way to use video to accomplish the same thing. i glanced at oovoo, and heard there was gmail video now or something. How do you do it and what equipment do you use? Also, i really like the HD vimeo vacation spots that i saw which is occasionally doing a more complex one, but mainly it is using it for specific people and events like a chat message. they may or may not have chat installed, and everybody uses different chat and preferred systems like facebook, myspace, twitter, yahoo.
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

Hey Todd!
Google has a new one in GMail, that is correct and it works for free. It's not the highest quality, and ooVoo may be a little bit higher quality. What's great about Gmail, ooVoo, and VSee is that you don't have to purchase expensive hardare. They are all about equal, but some may have better quality. Sometimes services like Google may be easily accessible since you use Gmail already, but if you want to try the others, they might be interesting as well. For one to one conversations Gmail Video Chat works well. For multiple chat, you may like a service like ooVoo or VSee. For strict video messages I highly recommend a service like Tokbox, because there are no downloads. If you want to chat while video messaging you may want to try Meebo or Imo.im and they work with known instant messengers.
