Videophone that doesn’t suck

Listen, for a while I was really excited about Skype!  It was going to revolutionize the whole communication thing throught the internet phone and video conversations, but who wants to be cut off every 2 seconds right?  not me.

Then I went to Tokbox.com.  I’d like all my friends to try it out and begin communicating with me online as soon as possible.  I know this sounds like a commercial, but if you have a web cam and a microphone, you have got to check this site out.  I have talked to several of my friends at the same time visually without any kind of problem (please use headphones to stop the echo), and there are a lot of other cool features too, like easy video mail, connects to all the major instant messaging services, and my favorite, the YouTube connector.

The other day, Billy, Jay, and I were talking on Tokbox and the conversation moved to talking about the band “Five for Fighting” and we were trying to remember their first hit on the radio, and one of them said, “It was called ‘Superman’ or something like that”  I then youtubed “Superman by Five for Fighting“, the video came up, and I was able to paste the URL into my TokBox conversation with them, and together we watched the video we had just talked about.  It was a moment.  Possibly even one shining moment.

Another possible future sweetness we’ll have using Tokbox is the ability to have life groups online for our web campus at FC. I’m not sure how many people can use it at a time, but I would love to stretch its limits.  Look me up under the name MartyHolman.  So what do you think?

Wanna talk?
