Very nice. Can you provide some references you used, particularly the video side? I'd like to learn to build one for myself.

  Take a browse through the source code, it's using flash for video. Also this is directly related: http://geekli.st/chenosaurus/i-built-httpchatio-over-christmas-break http://geekli.st/chenosaurus/i-built-httpchatio-over-christm... Or, try OpenTok for absurdly easy video streaming. http://www.tokbox.com http://www.tokbox.com.

  The video component uses Adobe Cirrus for p2p streaming. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cirrus/ http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cirrus/

Could you add a standard account system?

  will never understand why people cut 99% of the internet off by offering only twitter/facebook signup... i never implemented either of those, but couldn't be so much easier than openid to justify that number
  - drivebyacct2 15y ago
    Are you implying that 99% of the Internet has neither a facebook nor twitter account? I'm willing to bet that's false. As for the second sentence, I have no idea what it means, but I'll also wager a large sum of money that there are many times more facebook OR twitter users than openid users.
    - gcb 15y ago
      Since they are openid providers, you already lost the bet. Where do i collect my large sum? Even if you want to exclude them, i still bet google+Yahoo users > tweeter+facebook
      - drivebyacct2 15y ago
        Neither Facebook (FBConnect/oAuth) or Twitter(oAuth/xAuth) are OpenID providers... >google+Yahoo users > tweeter+facebook Meh, OpenID is inferior to oAuth or at least oAuth+OpenID, and besides, those are both "social login"-types which I figured you were mocking in general.

        Openid is a "social login"? What are you talking about?
        drivebyacct2 15y ago
        Yes, when you login via Google and Yahoo's OpenID, it's effectively a "social login". If you can type your OpenID endpoint for your Google account without looking it up, I'm willing to discuss otherwise. This is why it's "Login via Google" and you never hear of people logging in via a generic OpenID provider and then using their Google OpenID URL.
