Videochats und Videokonferenzen kostenfrei
Die meisten kennen inzwischen Skype um Videogespräche zu zweit oder seit der neuen Version ja auch zu mehreren über das Internet zu führen. Jetzt gibt es aber auch Webseiten, die als Dienstleistung Videokonferenzen oder Videochatting anbieten und das auch noch "for free".
