If you have a friend who is a complete luddite, and they ask you why they should use the internet, you should tell them 'Video chat'. The fact that I can chat and see my friends all the way around the world is prettty freaking amazing.

I spent an hour or so last week doing a video chat with my friend in Japan--got to play peek-a-boo with his kid, talk to his mom and wife, and just hang out and catch up. It's not as good as being there, but it's pretty close.

it's pretty awesome. just like voice is the killer app for cell phones, i think voice/video communication on PCs is the killer app.
