DISQUS

Hi DJ,

While we don't have recording on Tokbox just yet, some folks have been apparently using Jing to do so. More info on Jing: http://www.jingproject.com/

Moderation is most certainly being worked on:)

Thanks for the Tokbox mention!

I will also be rooting for the Magic (I am a Celts' fan as well & rooting for the Lakers would kill me).

Hi Phil,

Twitter would be: twitter.com/dbillian or twitter.com/tokbox.

Facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/TokBox/15087165257
If someone makes a comment about Tokbox, I will definitely respond.

Blogosphere: I write articles for the company at times (not primary job) and I also make it a point to look out for blog posts (like yours!) that mention Tokbox.

Public posts: Largely moderating (as well as a I can) in the public area. This can be found by clicking on the "Public Posts" link at the bottom of the page (left sidebar).

Also can be found at getsatisfaction.com/tokbox.

I just wanted to clarify that Tokbox does have a Community Manager:) I am active in the blogosphere, Twitter, Facebook, our Public Posts & Customer Service Channel.

Some of the items you mention are items we're working on and/or looking at.

"Is there a multiple video chatting option at TokBox.com? Can three people video chat with each other or only 2? "

Yes, our multi-party chat/conferencing option can handle up to twenty people.

Thanks for posting the changes. Please do let us know if you have any recommendations.

Awesome. I actually met Chris after a SimplyHired contest bash, so I am stoked you guys did a vid interview with Tokbox.com.

Cool. Just remember to tell your brother to update the drivers first:)

Hi Mike,

Awesome! Glad you got the cam ok!

Now let's see what happens with perhaps, oh, the 1100th fan:)

P.S. Think it is awesome that you guys did your Fantasy Baseball with Tokbox as well.

I don't know how the people who follow 50k manage to do it! It's like having a conversation with an entire small city!

Nor do I! While I have engaged with a large number of communities in the past, that number is still quite large to me. Props to the folks that can do so to some degree.

Politics and religion: Even if I have my own views, I am personally loathe to do so in any environment that would affect my relationship with my employer. I am actually a weird hybrid when it comes to politics (Democrat and Republican), and perhaps even more strange when it comes to religion (largely Buddhist in thought, terrible in practice, and practitioner of the Judeo-Christian ethics that permeate Western culture).

Thanks for the interesting article. Appreciate it!

Hi Brett,

Understood. Just mentioning that there are more important things to lose than a follower:) I only mention politics sometimes on my Twitter account, largely due to the fact that politics can be like talking to wall (nothing I will say will change a person's affiliation with a particular topic). The same goes with religion, which is something that can be a very divisive topic.

I actually think that folks that have 10k+ followers are in for one hell of a ride. T

he best advice you gave is to be personable, which I wholly agree with. A simple response back to a Tweet, or any other medium, is appreciated by the person that received your response.

Sheesh...what are people going to talk about if they follow the list? Just kidding...

My personal take as a Twitter novice....
I don't focus too much on number of followers (I do check, obviously). I don't really pay attention to people that stop following me that much because I look at it as a free will type of thing, much like how some relationships are transient in real life.

In the order of things, here's what I would be most concerned about:
1. Losing a friend (real, not virtual).
2. Losing a customer at any of the services I've worked at.
3. A follower.

Conversing with all of your followers, notably those that have tens of thousands, is probably not all that reachable by any single human being. Not responding to a direct inquiry, IMHO, is probably a lot worse than not sending a message to every person directly.

Many thanks for checking out Tokbox.com. Sorry you had to find out about setting privacy settings the hard way.

Surprised Led Zeppelin isn't on the list:)

Thanks for checking out Tokbox! Video Mail is actually my favorite feature, largely because I spend time overseas as well:)

Thanks! I do my best:)

We know that Linux has some issues with our site that we hope to resolve. I just hope that little article helps at least some customers.

Thanks for the Tokbox mention.

"You can send the URL by IM or email to the parties you would like to participate."

I just wanted to add that we recently launched a Twitter "tweet" option, which means you can send the url out to your Twitter contacts very easily.

Happy Holidays! Don't worry about the pronunciation...you're not the first to think that:)

20-25 works quite well. While you could do more, you're going to run into issues with screen size & ambient noise when you get over the 20-25 range.

Many thanks for checking out the Tokbox video chat/conferencing feature. Have you had a larger number of people in a chat?

Note: Performance is much better with Flash 10 (link: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/).

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the review!

Correction: The Tokbox conference feature (send url) actually allows a much greater number of people to. participate. We've seen many cases where people held twenty or more in a single video conference,

"Tokbox is a web-based video conferencing application that anyone can use to have one-to-one video meetings online."

Correction: The conference feature for Tokbox (send url) actually allows for a large numer of participants in the video conference. We've siin it easily support 20 or more participants.

Thanks for the tokbox.com mention! It is very much appreciated!

Many thanks for mentioning the Tokbox AIR application! Much appreciated!
