The TokBox phenomenon

Do you remember back in the day when you would put up a webcam so your family could see you while you instant message? It was fun being able to see each other when we were far away.
Webcams have come a long way, and in our future we look forward to phones that have video with them.
The future is here!
Thanks to Tokbox, we can now talk to and see each other over the net and it is FREE! No prepaid services or fees, just good old fashioned FREE. You have got to love that!
When you sign up, Tokbox finds your camera for you and sets it all up, then gives you a web address to send to people so they can connect to you. You control who can see you.

The fun thing is that you can also add Tokbox features to your websites, like facebook, and see people through the chats there! It is easy to set up and easy to use.
You can make videos to post on your website or blogs. Video conferences are now simple. You can make video cards to send to family and friends, like talking through the belly of a turkey.

This is a tool that we plan to use with Drew when he is able to have his computer and internet. He even bought us a webcam so he could keep up with the little children growing up. He wants to stay involved with them as much as he can.

A big thanks to Mom Central for letting me know about this website!
