  24. Here's what a study found... on Linux Based IP Videophone · · Score: 2, Informative

    About 8 years ago they did a study to see how video conferencing would be used in the office. What they found was that initially it was the cool new toy. Everyone in the meeting would spend a couple minutes waving to each other and commenting on how much nicer it was to see the people they were talking to.

    A few weeks after it's initial use, they found that users no longer looked up. They didn't care that the camera was on them, nor did they care that they could see who they were speaking to.

    Aside from things like "show me how old Timmy has gotten" or "let's see how bad that black-eye is" I don't see these things taking off anytime soon. They're too proprietary, and nobody's going to plunk down their hard-earned cash for something that maybe 0.00001% of the people they speak with can take advantage of.
