Rabbit wants to put a new face on video chat
Video chat is about to get a new look, if a company called Rabbit has anything to say about it.
On Thursday, Rabbit took the wraps off its video chat and content-sharing application that lets chat participants watch videos, listen to music, and look at documents together while talking. The application—Mac-only for now—is entering a closed beta; interested participants can sign up at the Rabbit website.
Anyone who does sign up will find a video chat offering that’s quite different from Skype and Google Hangout. Rabbit promises chats with unlimited numbers of participants, simplified content sharing, and the ability to easily move from one group to the next. All of this takes place in a chat environment designed to mimic a party or get-together as opposed to a more traditional online chatroom.
“We wanted to totally transform the way you do video chat from the ground up,” said Stephanie Morgan, a Rabbit co-founder.
