Cool; support is limited. I like to think we did better at Sococo.com - we support dozens of simultaneous participants, a dedicated client and web clients too.

Here's a picture of Teamspace at work: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nb5tqqeux0n1xep/SococoMtg.png We meet like this all the time; there were 23 people in that virtual room, 7 sharing webcams and one webcam in our central office. 2 documents were being shared, a common chat thread was going on. Probably many p2p chats going on; I couldn't see that as they're private.

Is Sococo a web app? Does it support Linux and Windows? I looked very hard to find answers to these two questions on your site. The only way I can really tell is by looking at your screenshot that appears to be a Windows standalone application.

A working demo would be a nice addition to your site. I'm too stubborn to signup for a demo, so without a public demo I don't see myself ever being a customer, which is unfortunate because the software or web app looks useful.

Rolling out a simpler design and a new website in a few days. Some of your objections will be met!

I'll answer here: there's a client for mac, windows, iOS and ipad. There's a web client too - but the conversation has to be hosted by a non-web client and invites sent as a url.

There's a headless Linux version but we use that on servers for media switching etc.

It supports call-out now (to any phone). Call-in is harder - you have to resolve an unsolicited call to a virtual office - we're working on it now.
