MeBeam Video Chat is a quick, easy way for you and your friends to get together for a video chat. When you want to video chat using MeBeam you can just go there and start chatting. There is nothing to download to use MeBeam video chat. Just go to MeBeam and start video chatting.

Before you can Video Chat ..
Before you can use MeBeam video chat, you'll have to plug in your webcam to your computer and download any software that came with your webcam. Then make sure the webcam works on your computer. As long as your webcam works on your computer, you'll be able to use it on MeBeam to video chat.

Two Ways To Video Chat
There are two ways to video chat with MeBeam. You can enter open chatrooms and chat with whoever's already online using MeBeam video chat. All you have to do to start video chatting with other MeBeam members is click on the "Next Room" button. There are several different open chatrooms that you can join. Start your video chat right away with anyone who happens to be on MeBeam at the time.

The other way to video chat on MeBeam is to set up your very own private chat room. This is just as simple as joining an open chatroom. All you have to do to start your own video chatroom is create a name for your chatroom. Then email your friends and tell them to meet you there for a video chat.

Your friends can now go to MeBeam video chat, type in the name of your chatroom, and join you in your private video chat. There can be up to eight people in a chatroom at a time, including you.

Text and Voice Chat
At the bottom of the video chat screen is where you do your chatting. Enter whatever you want to say in the box and chat. If you and your friends all have audio and speakers on your computers, you can also talk to each other using MeBeam video chat.

The webapp Turn Your Name Into a Face is pretty self-explanatory: you type your name into the only field on the page, and it gives you a super-pixelated avatar. Different name, different avatar. Yes, that's all it does.

Website of the week: TinyURL

TinyURL is a web service that provides short aliases for redirection of long URLs. Kevin Gilbertson, a web developer, launched the service in January 2002 so that he would be able to link directly to newsgroup postings which frequently had long and cumbersome addresses.

About the service

The TinyURL homepage includes a form that's used to submit a long URL for shortening. For each URL entered, the server adds a new alias in its hashed database and returns a short URL such as http://tinyurl.com/m7ztrk in the following page. If the URL has already been requested, TinyURL will return the existing alias rather than create a duplicate entry. The short URL forwards users to the long URL.

TinyURL also offers an API that allows applications to automatically create short URLs.

Short URL aliases are seen as useful because they are easier to write down, remember or pass around, are less error-prone to write, and also fit where space is limited such as IRC channel topics, email signatures, microblogs, certain printed newspapers (such as the .net Magazine or even Nature), and email clients that impose line breaks on messages at a certain length. People posting on Twitter make extensive use of shortened URLs to keep their tweets within the service-imposed 140 character limit.

Starting in 2008, TinyURL allows users to create custom, more meaningful aliases. This means that a user can create descriptive URLs rather than a randomly generated address.
