Fair enough, but the addition of video to iChat in 2003 hasn't set off a video call revolution. It's used, but not too frequently in most circles.

Actually from a 20 year olds's perspective it really HAS set off a video call revolution. Video chat is way bigger than it's ever been and I think you can pretty easily draw the line directly to MB owning college kids. iChat was the first time video chat was easy and didn't look and sound like total crap. Skype's is still a disaster in comparison.

By "most circles" you mean "my circle."

Skype/iChat Video is used constantly by very large groups of people all over the world: expats, and people who truly cannot afford to travel far (developing countries "middle" class, at internet cafes).
