Hi there my good friend!
It's my first time to hear about Oovoo,is it very much like Skype? I mostly use Skype for chatting whenever my hubby is out of the country for work. But if Skype is encountering some connection problems,we usually use Yahoo Messenger for video chatting. I've experienced using facebook vieo chat too once and I find it fine but I still prefer Skype,hehe!

Hey there mtrguanlao! Great to interact with you on here also. Oovoo is a lot like Skype. The only real difference I've noticed between the two is the screen size. I only had one friend that I chatted with on Skype, but we've lost touch, therefore I haven't had much of a reason to log onto Skype. I mainly video chat with a few of my friend on Oovoo. I'm more familiar with it. I've used Yahoo Messenger for video chatting in the past, but I encountered problems with it, so I looked for another alternative. Great hearing that you prefer Skype, and thanks for your feedback on this topic. :)

Well on Oovoo it's a double screen, so you can see yourself and the person you are talking to at the same time. You can also make the person you are talking to screen bigger or smaller and vice versa. The times I've used Skype, my screen was always smaller, and I didn't know how to make it bigger. I'm sure there is a way to do it, but I never bothered to find out.

I didn't know there is Oovoo but I think that is interesting. I will give it a try. But most of my friends are using Skype. I would have to invite all of them to register to use Oovoo, I think that will be inconvenient for some. Thanks for sharing.

Yea give Oovoo a try. You friends might even end up liking it. I communicate with more people on Oovoo than I do with Skype. Thanks for commenting, and your welcome. Good luck.

I've never used video chat but most of the people I know that do video chat use Skype. I've never heard of Oovoo. Sorry, I'm clueless.
