There is a smartphone app called Marco Polo that Michelle is enjoying. While it's not the sort of thing I am particularly interested in using, I can see why people might like it. It is a video chat like FaceTime, only you can leave a video message if the person you're calling isn't on at the time, but if you both happen to be there at the same time, it can be a real-time video chat. It's available for the iOS or Android phones. Apple App Store Free Apps
