1. Skype killer? Google open sources WebRTC

    WebRTC looks interesting - it allows to build HTML5 video / audio apps from within the browser (i.e., without need for Skype or an iPad app).

    Not surprisingly it’s only supported by Mozilla, Opera, Chrome - and knowing Google, Chrome support will stop if someone develops an app that could challenge YouTube.

    “WebRTC offers web application developers the ability to write rich, realtime multimedia applications (think video chat) on the web, without requiring plugins, downloads or installs. It’s purpose is to help build a strong RTC platform that works across multiple web browsers, across multiple platforms.”
