Text is good, but the impact that people speaking to one another would have (I think) would be better. I don't know if there's interest or not but I figured I'd sign us up for the service anyway.
I'm fairly certain that we can pull this off. I'm almost sure that skype allows you record video and even if it doesn't, we can record conference calls and stick photos in for each person. I know how to do that and I have some nifty software for it.
