CUSEEME is software that lets you send and receive video,
*audio, and chat with other people in real time. The video is
streamed using a reflector to all the people that are connected.
You can Look at a whole bunch of of people at once, and as the
name implies, they can look at you too!

*audio however is rarely used on reflectors, most reflectors
can not handle the added bandwidths for this to work
effectively.

It's a hobby of mine that I have enjoyed for a few years now,
it's also a great way to meet some nice folks and see who
your talking to unlike a chat room (IRC).
 

I've Decided rather then a bunch of links
on this page that I would give a refresher
course to all my fellow CU friends.

Both Netscaner and Rockfsher,(accessible from my Main page "Friends" have software to download for this).
