tokbox & dimdim

Due to skype's group videoconference limitations (no longer free and not mac supported) I've been researching alternatives for us to use for our Creativity: Theories, Tools, & Techniques discussion.  So far I've experimented with tinychat and tokbox.  After more tinkering, I think that tokbox or dimdim will be the best fit for our needs.  I've included some more information below - perhaps you can help me decide?

screen shot of the tokbox interface - kinda brady bunch-esque, huh? :)

tokbox overview

Tokbox's website also has several great overviews, but they have disabled embedding so you'll have to go to their site to view them.  Click the "demos" tab to view the videos.

Go here to get started.

The only problem with tokobx is that you cannot share documents without paying, which would make sharing presentations difficult.  This is why I'm looking into dimdim as well.

I'll keep you posted!
