PMFJI, but I've never heard of the app called Marco Polo.  I was doing a little reading up on it, but it sounds a lot like the other video chat programs.  Is MC a kind of store-n-forward video chat system akin to leaving a voice message on someone's phone, but with video?

For an app that is completely free, and ad-free, there are sure a lot of people behind it based on the company group picture!  How do they finance MC with so many salaries to pay for?
