| Download of the Day: SightSpeed 6.0
May, 2007
Reviewer: Rick Broida "The software has made some noteworthy improvements over version 5.0 ... Indeed, a test-run with my folks in Florida revealed much smoother video than we got from version 5.0. (And for the record, both versions were vastly superior to Skype, which also does video calling.) If you own a webcam, you owe it to yourself to try SightSpeed."

"It's not physically possible to spend the holidays with all the relatives--so please, Santa, could you set my far-flung family up with SightSpeed? It has the best lipsync of any video messenger service I've seen, so Dad and I could interrupt each other just as naturally as we do in real life. And with any of the paid plans, we could have a four-person family get-together on a multiparty call."

"The perfect gift for far-flung families, the SightSpeed Video Messenger enables users to send video messages to each other. The starter kit includes a Logitech web camera, Plantronics headset and a one-year subscription to the service (unlimited video and audio calls, 100 video mail messages and up to 30 minutes of multi-party calls). Only one of you needs to have the service. Even without it, though, you can still talk for up to 15 minutes free each day if you've got the webcam."
