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-christm...

Or, try OpenTok for absurdly easy video streaming. http://www.tokbox.com.

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

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.

I don't mind connecting with Twitter. What I find absurd is requiring the right to tweet on my account at any time without my explicit permission.
