[ale] [OT] Anyone up for a 90 Day Wonder Challenge?

[DJ-Pfulio]

Scott and I just tested talky.io .... it sorta worked, mostly. Better than any
other option that I've tried. Had some trouble reconnecting after entering the
help page.  Closing help, shuts down the chat-room session.

Mug-videos, screen sharing, audio and text included.

A few gotchas:
* video camera is mandatory, but doesn't need to be enabled.  Video did work
well for our simple test.
* audio worked well too. No separate phone required. They handled the echo from
webcam-mic and room speakers fine.

Out of all the other choices, talky.io works best IMHO. Scott found a neat tool.
 We just need to see how well it works for everyone else.  Need 4+ people to
test this.

Time?
