来自Festoon的消息,现在通过Festoon插件即可连通skype和googletalk的视频。详细消息如下：
Festoon unites Skype and Google Talk with video and sharing：Getting started is simple. Just connect a camera, download our free Festoon plug-in, and see each other one-on-one or invite up to 200 buddies to a video call - even if they don't have a camera. But wait, there's more! You can also share anything you see on your screen, even your entire desktop! And Festoon's immersive EyeCandy video effects add fun to your video experience, including funhouse mirrors, motion colors, and crazy cutouts. Whether you use Skype or Google Talk for business or to connect with family and friends, now you can show a presentation, work on a spreadsheet, share photos, or just have fun online while seeing everyone in the call!
我们认为，这是Festoon作为一个插件的唯一出路,因为视频功能是所有IM软件的必然趋势,如果Gtalk也象skype那样实现多人视频聊天的话，那么，Festoon作为一个插件也就没有生存的必要了，可以说，“skype its son”的现象是每一个插件的必然命运，Festoon吸取了经验和教训，为自己的生存赢得了新的空间，它的眼光也很是不错，盯住了各个IM软件之间视频互通和兼容这样的一块蛋糕。
