Best Video Chat Application? [Hive Five Call For Contenders]

[Field Nurse]

When you're living far away from family and friends, a phone call is nice, but nothing quite beats a video chat for when you really want to reach out and touch someone. Earlier this week Google launched video chat inside Gmail, adding to the already long list of video chat services available for free on the internet. So for this week's Hive Five, we want you to tell us all about your favorite video chat application. Keep reading for more details, then nominate the video chat app you count on.
Hive Five nominations take place in the comments, where you post your favorite tool for the job. We get hundreds of comments, so to make your nomination clear, please include it at the top of your comment like so: VOTE: Remote Desktop App Goes Here. NEW RULE: Please don't include your vote in a reply to another commenter. Instead, make your vote and reply separate comments. If you don't follow this format, we may not count your vote. To prevent tampering with the results, votes from first-time commenters may not be counted. After you've made your nomination, let us know what makes it stand out from the competition.
About the Hive Five: The Hive Five feature series asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get—"Which tool is the best?" Once a week we'll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every weekend, we'll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best. For an example, check out last week's Hive Five Best Remote Desktop Tools.
