I suggest you try http://www.showdocument.com - its a free alternative tool for tokbox, that allows document sharing and web meeting in real-time. all the participants in the session see each others' drawing, highlights, etc. It is free and requires no installation.

Tokbox is useless really... who the heck actually needs what it provides.

I expect a total loss for sequioa and a very very low-dollar liquidation of Tokbox.

If you're working for them, I hope they're paying you well and giving you weekend off, because those measly little options they're giving you will probably amount to less than pennies.

Turns out that most consumers tire quickly of the novelty of videoconferencing or video mail and then turn against it, not wanting to have to worry about how they look like on camera because they are having a bad day. Pretty soon excuses are made that the webcam doesn't work anymore.

We've seen this before on the 'net, about ten years ago. Maybe this time around it can catch on with 13-17 yrs old... outside of that, don't give it much of a chance.
