Well, Abraham Harrison took part in the My ooVoo Day campaign as a subcontractor of crayon LLC and have spoken about it before but I just discovered a really groovy and cool redux of the entire day — well-cut and well done!

(I was the guy who took the video of Bob Garfield, see) What a fun project it was.

Bob Garfield on My ooVoo Day, originally uploaded by Chris Abraham.

I got to host On the Media‘s Bob Garfield and represent crayon LLC and ooVoo today during My ooVoo Day today at the offices of MSHC Partners thanks to the kindness and generosity of Michael Bassik. The entire day went swimmingly and many a fine feathered friend ooVoo’d in to say hello and to participate. Very cool. You’ll see my cute-as-sin x61 ThinkPad with my cool wee notebook webcam by CREATIVE. Note the Caribou Coffee cup — there are still alternatives to Starbucks in this town, Washington, DC.

Scott Monty, BL Ochman, Mark Harrison, Christina Greene, and Jonathan Trenn, etc, are all lined up for mirth and happiness! Check out the sweet notie with the cool cammie and the hip offie! We’re attached via a brightly-colored lannie.

I just received the below email in my Facebook Inbox because I am a member of the ooVoo Facebook Group. Well, I have been sitting on some cool news that I assume I can share now since it has been released into the wilderness. Lots of cool stuff: My ooVoo Day, a version of ooVoo for the Mac, and the ability to chat up some of the coolest new media, social media, new PR, new marketing, and rock star bloggers anywhere! (Via Marketing Conversation)

If you haven’t had a chance to try out ooVoo yet, there’s a great opportunity coming up in the week or so: My ooVoo Day With…You can download the software – including the MAC VERSION!!! – and sign up for a slot where you can talk to some other ooVooers in the blogosphere about a variety of topics at: http://www.myoovooday.com

If you don’t have a webcam yet, don’t worry – you can still participate on calls as an audio-only caller. You’ll still be able to see and hear the others and add your own voice to the mix. Just pick a good looking avatar to display. ;-)

That’s it. Get over to www.myoovooday.com to check out the details and do your thing.
