We love our technology. It brings us closer to our family and friends, not only in the United States, but on a global level. It allows us to connect with family in France, while providing us with the ability to not only talk and play games with our friends no matter where they might be, but even to watch Youtube videos and learn about world geography.
Last night while munchkin was watching You Tube videos via Skype screen share, I remembered seeing a way to watch You Tube videos with friends in a private online room and so went in search of options since Synchtube is gone now. We're testing out Watch2gether.com to see how we like it. We tried last night with friends in Tasmania and it wasn't too bad. Munchkin isn't sure whether she likes it better than screen sharing, so we'll have to give it a few more tries. We'll see in a week or so how much we like it.
I also discovered Geoguessr.com, a geography game that makes use of Google Earth's mapping and imaging technology. Such a cool game to play and challenges you to recognize where you might be based on the image displayed. So far though, this is of more interest to me than munchkin...
