Google Finally Notices Linux - Gets Videochat

[danibbler]

Years after Windows and Mac users got videochat from Google, it is now the turn of the Linux users as the company releases its videochat plugin. Waiting for the good stuff is something that Linux users are probably all too familiar with. This is what happens when you have a less than 1% share of the marketplace.

No big whup

Videochat has been around for ages.
Yahoo messenger was the first to come up with it many many years ago...

This is for Gmail users, not Yahoo. Trying reading the link.

"Videochat" not Google Voice.

Google offers BOTH.....

The point is that Google offered Videochat to Linux users years after they intro'd it to Windows and Mac users.

Like I said.

Yeah, it's been around for ages for Windows and Mac users...not for those with Linux. Like you say, no big whup since there are so few of those. LOL!
