We're really proud of what we've built here, and we're looking for beta testers to help us continue to scale Mantis. Filling in the holes of commodity WebRTC is going to bring some really fascinating face-to-face video apps to the market a lot sooner, and we're excited to have folks come into the playground we're building and play a bit.

If you're interested in using multiparty WebRTC, then please email me at [email protected]

Totally agree with all of the above. I'll send you an email to keep the conversation going.

Really love this idea. I've started something similar for my content platform Amplifize.com, but am still in very early stages.

How can folks help build this out? Could it be an open service?

Here's an app I've built focusing on the social elements of Google Reader. There's a small group of us who are using it daily, and I'd love to find a design partner who would be up for really giving it a polish, and seeing if we can capture some of the GReader magic.

Apple missed on e-mail by making Mobile Me a paid service. This may be their way of making up for that, and having a solid foot hold in a consumer social network without that needing to be baked into their DNA.

Makes me wonder why Microsoft didn't turn its 2% of Facebook into a larger integration which both companies could have touted as value-added on both platforms.

We're using it for our text chat modules at TokBox. Looking forward to releasing that code in our plug'n'play apps very soon!

Where could I get an architectural review for an idea?

I've been building out some stuff on the side, and I really want to sit down with some folks to just get an architectural review of the application that I'm building. I'd love to hear people's thoughts from an engineering perspective about how to do it differently/better than what I'm doing right now.Is there such a group?

What do I need to add to make you use this for video chat?

I built a play application this weekend to show off at a Ruby hackathon. It's built using the OpenTok video chat API (full disclosure: I work at TokBox).I wanted to find out what folks would want in the application to actually use it for their own video chats. It's hosted on a free Heroku instance, and so I doubt performance rocks, but if I need to buy some dynos for folks to test, then let me...
