Hi! If you are looking for a voice chat room - there no better solution then SKYPE Skype allows creation of virtual chat rooms and they could be password protected i think. Yahoo messenger has following feature: Yahoo is offering free group conference calling services from Vapps Inc. to the roughly 80 million users of Yahoo's instant-message and Web telephone-calling service, the companies said on Monday. The service, called ConFreeCall, will be available for download through Yahoo Messenger with Voice service, allowing friends or families to hold free conference calls to complement Yahoo's existing text, voice and photo-sharing services. Vapps, a supplier of conference-calling services and equipment announced a similar deal in June with Skype, the international market leader in instant message and Web-based phone calling services with more than 100 million users. Vapps -- short for Voice over Internet Applications -- says it can offer free conference calls with high voice quality for up to 500 simultaneous participants per call -- enough to handle an extended family reunion. A moderator can control call volume control, muting, announce participants and recording, among other features. Closely held Vapps, of Hoboken, New Jersey, has a plan to offset the cost of providing free conference calls by offering related premium services, including conference call recording, playback and 24-hour operator support for arranging calls. Yahoo Messenger with Voice subscribers can find the ConFreeCall application in the Yahoo Messenger plug-in gallery (http://us.gallery.yahoo.com/messenger). The service is also available directly from Vapps at http://www.confreecall.com. Vapps counts tens of thousands of registered users for its existing audio conference call services. Previously it charged 6 cents a minute per user, meaning an hour-long conference call with 10 participants cost around $36.
eChat will allow you to set up your own trading room with voice so you can post your live charts with say control-C. It's a lot better to see and hear, especially for newbies.
Get skype and create a community chat. Been using it for a few months with a group of guys and it works great, and you have options to chat one on one, even call them and talk in person.
Brandon if you want to post charts live something like Tradingrooms dot com works well my trading buddy uses it or you could pay a small monthly fee for gotomeeting, but there is no voice. Just a suggestion.
Not sure if Skype is free or not. We use www.teamspeak.com ourselves. Free, open coded linux. Very clear. FWIW, Don
Brandon. Please keep us up to date on your health. I have a friend who cured herself of cancer by going to a raw vegan diet. Now she and her husband run a raw vegan retail store. If you can spare one more noob, I would like to join. I will be retiring at a young age in May and trading full time. Have been doing part time for 10+ years. I focus on IPOs, Buying High Fliers on Dips and Precious Metals. This is really GREAT what you are doing!
