I don't think I've ever had a great video chat experience on my smartphone or tablet. Until now, I assumed that's just because I'm super-awkward, but the team behind a startup called Net Power & Light seems to think there's a broader problem here, one that it's trying to solve with the launch of a new app called Spin.Obviously, there are plenty of other chat services out there, including Apple's own FaceTime. But when Net Power & Light co-founder and CEO Tara Lemmey gave me a demo, I had to admit that it feels pretty different. There's no single feature that makes Spin stand out, but as whole it has clearly been optimized around the touch experience of an iPad (and to a lesser extent the iPhone and iPod Touch). When you're chatting with someone, it's easy to use the screen to zoom in and out of the video, and also to share and swipe through photos and videos (which can be imported from Facebook, Flickr, or their iOS camera roll).
