Obviously its a completely free service. Its a social network.
I havent used it yet but seen screenshots of it(my net is too slow)
I donot think there is any harm trying out is there :)

You donot have to open a profile. All you need is a Google account or Gmail id.
See these links:
Free Video Chat and Video Conferencing from ooVoo


Google+ Hangouts Is the Best Free Group Video Chat We've Seen

+1 to google+ hangouts. I have been in two hangouts till date. The first one lasted 6 hours, with around 15-20 ppl in total and the second one lasted 12 hours with around 15-18 ppl. The maximum limit is 10 ppl at one time. The experience was really great and its very easy to setup too. Just login to google+ with your gmail id, start a hangout and invite the other person(s). You should give it a shot.
