It's like AOL Instant Messenger in a
way, but you call people over they're internet connection rather than
their phone line. It's tough to explain, but give it a shot, me and THE
ALMIGHTY ENOS SHENK have been using it for about an hour now so come
check it out.

| Programs like AIM and MSN's voice chats arent as good as this. The voice chats on them connect to a server, and this uses your internet connection. No lag, and almost no delay between talking people. It's cool. |

Is it like AIM, does it launch at start up, give me pop ups, cookies? Or does it work like Teamspeak/Ventrillo? -------------
