in How to stream and record video chat interview on djchuang.com
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:)

webXL I really like Jing and almost upgraded to Pro for the compression, but I discovered a 5-minute recording limitation. Looks like it's CallRecorder for now.

I'm curious if it can handle an hour long conference, though. At what point do my HD space and memory completely fill up?

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.

in 11 Ways to Lose Friends and Followers Online on Social Media Rockstar
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!

Brett Borders I share my political views with friends, have learned the hard way about mixing them with business associates. Recently there was someone I respected who made disparaging remarks about my religion and it kind of soured the relationship. I made some tweets on election night that I thought were very moderate and innocuous and a guy unfollowed me who I'd spent two years building a relationship with.

However, on some forums I don't use my real name or I don't use for business so I let 'em rip! ;)

Glad you liked, please subscribe via RSS and I'll see what I can do in the future!

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.

Brett Borders Damon,

It' okay to mention politics and religion.. I do absolutely do it sometimes and on some sites... but not on sites that I use for business. I depend on Twitter to make a living so I leave politics out of it. If you're just using it for fun to to be social - there's no limits you should even consider... let 'er rip!

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.

Brett Borders Damon Billian,

I agree... the point of this list is to "be nice" and a good conversationalist... to focus on others as much as you rant about negative / inane / narcissistic / banal stuff.

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.

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!
