A few months ago Andreas Monitzer wrote a plugin for the Adium instant Messenger,
giving Adium users the ability to make multi person video calls to not only to other Adium users, but anyone else using a Jabber based instant messenger.
The plugin, which makes use of our MeBeam service, was very well received, and made the front page of Digg.
Since then, other Jabber based instant messengers have also developed plugins, such as Coccinella, Miranda, Google Talk etc.
Today, I am happy to announce, our new Operator service, which will allow anyone using a Jabber instant messenger to make a multi person video call to anyone.
So if your using Pidgin, WengoPhone,iChat,Trillian or any other Jabber instant messenger, simply add
operator@mebeam.com to your contact list, type the word call followed by the jabber id of the person you wish to call and the operator service will take care of the rest.
For example to establish a video call from your Pidgin instant messenger to your friend john_smith who is on Google Talk,
simply type in the following into the operator chat window.
call john_smith@gmail.com
That's all there is to it.
Alright, well, I have done this, but I don't get any sort of replies or anything. What should I expect?

hello,
why did you banned from accessing the chat room.

Well, thanks for the help. Your forums won't let people from gmail in, and apparently no one reads the comments on your blog.
Also your site's CSS file is currently unreadable.

refering to ?

Another great release.
I added operator to my trillian
account, and started video calling
my friends on other jabber networks.
Great work !

The other day, there was no CSS on the site at all, no style no formatting, nothing. It was temporary.
Now, www.mebeam.com itself is giving nothing but a blue window.
