6rounds

6rounds is a web start-up providing a unique and innovative Video conferencing arena - a live meeting point where users hang out with friends and meet new people. 6rounds is a rich, interactive and personalized video chat platform that takes shared experiences and real-time collaboration to a whole new level.
6rounds combines webcams, instant messaging, social activities, and interactive zones to offer its users an exciting variety of experiences that they enjoy and share together. The video experience is very different from Skype and Tokbox and present users with broad range of opportunities: from watching videos, playing real-time games, listening to music, co-facebooking or youtubing, to shopping together and beyond. Users are also encouraged to exchange gifts, start webcam effects and use the tips machine which provides ice-breakers and advice about their chat partner
Unique features
Unlike most Video conferencing applications which require software to be downloaded and installed on all computers involved, 6rounds is a web-based service that uses Adobe Flash and requires only registration.
6rounds offers an API for developers, who can enrich the video experience by creating more games and activities for the users and by that allowing them access to more interactive and real-time options to share together. Designers can also contribute, by creating gifts, effects and skins, which change the atmosphere of the chat and the virtual location of it.
Every user on the website also has the chance to create a visual personal profile for themselves, which can be embeddable on every website, blog or favorite social community. This profile is later used in the video experience, where the users enjoy tips and ice-breakers about common interests they share with their chat partners.
The video experience platform can easily be integrated into any 3rd party website or service - starting from an application in Facebook or an open-social app in MySpace, continuing with a plugin for WordPress or an embeddable widget in users personal pages, and ending with various extensions to Instant messaging, ICQ, Skype and Firefox. This cross-network platform will allow users from all over the web to interact live and in real-time, no matter what their favorite social network or service are.
