Best way to video chat...

I've had an integrated webcam on my Vaio for a couple of years now and never used it. My sister (who lives far away with an adorable nephew I rarely get to see) just got a MacBook and also has an integrated webcam.

We video chatted a few times through AIM, and when my dad got wind of what we were doing he went on Amazon and bought a webcam too. So now the three of us have webcams and we all want to chat together (three at a time). Sis says Apple doesn't let you do video chat conferencing on AIM (dang Apple, grr) so we're trying to find a mac-friendly free service that does.

The key - the three of us need to be able to video chat all at once. I've done a bit of googling and found oovoo and palbee and I see that gmail has chat but I don't know if you can video with more than one at once.

Any ideas or suggestions? I appreciate it!

    I use ustream.com so you all can have your own ustream pages that are always there. You can make your stream private if you don't want others seeing it. There is a chat (text) box as well. You can also have a "co-host" so two are on the same screen.
