"To video chat use WebRTC" - maybe the poster might actually want to consider putting as much energy into usable suggestions as he did to ripping on google.

WebRTC in and of itself is a set of APIs for enabling assorted communication activities. It is not a service.

Even funnier, WebRTC was originally open sourced by Google [0].

WebRTC is still in the process of standardization both in the IETF and W3C. That said, my understanding is recent versions of chrome and Firefox have inter operating versions.

A technology is not a service. User discovery, nat traversal, signaling and others may be needed depending on the service.
