You have tools such as Adobe Connect (previously Macromedia Breeze), Megameeting, Userplane etc. aglon with ofcourse WebEx, MS Live, Citrix etc. The difference between all these and orgoo is that, these are full fledge collaboration suites where as orgoo is only a video conferencing product right now - so orgoo is more like yahoo! live, and not WebEx. The competition is practically fierce in this with Zoho, Vyew (my favorite) etc. Even pure video conferencing is nothing new right now. In fact Orgoo is quite late in the market. There are numerous online webcam solutions online (including some that offer online interviewing!) using Flash communication server or RealMedia or Windows Media Series (in case of Windows media though it's more of broadcasting then "chat"). Numerous companies are now also using open source RED5 rather than FCS because of licensing issues. By the way, software download is not really a problem always. For example, WebEx is available for multiple platforms, so are Citrix's products. Also you don't really have to explicitly installed any product - it installs via an activeX or JavaApplet seamlessly (again, this is a standard product feature in this industry now). Video solutions may be hot now because different companies have just started to display ads in the video content (YouTube started a few weeks ago) and I know of a few IP-TV/Live streaming solutions that are doing this as well. Even doubleclick is now providing ad solutions for video content. This was one of the HOT things in last year's OMD (Online Marketing Dusseldorf - the largest online marketing fair in Europe) with quite a few video-ad solutions. Just my 2 cents ...

Look forward to trying this out. We sell a few different video conference platforms at Batipi, however, they require a software download. The software is fairly user friendly, however, you are correct that this can be a problem from time to time.
