Are you looking for a way to host a book club meeting online? Having a virtual book club has never been easier thanks to new video tools from Facebook, Skype and Google.
1. You can host your book club parties with a new group calling feature on Skype. The new feature lets you chat with up to ten different people at once.
2. You can set up video chats on Google+ Hangouts. It is part of Google’s new social toolset called Google+ (invitation-only right now). The feature is a “live multi-person video” chatroom that lets you have conversations with your online friends.
If you are webcam challenged or just have one other person in your book club, then you can use Facebook Video Chat. Yesterday Facebook updated its chat feature to allow for multiple person chats and also added the ability to hold one-on-one video calls.
