But taking solid ideas and integrating them into new concepts, that's creativity, an essential ingredient to growth and success. At WooMe we added live the ability for users to watch and share their video introductions to help stimulate growth and interactions on the site. For those who remember our initial launch, that was not an original aspect of our site. Talkbox has a great idea and could add functionality in a number of ways. I hope they find the right team to do that. You’re right about chat utility being an old model.

Yes, there are lots of flash chat sites, tokbox is different because it lets you video or voice chat with yahoo or msn users, thats where their strength lay. That becomes very handy when you're in your office or a restricted machine which won't let you install extra apps. If i were tokbox management, i'd probably look into segmenting the market more carefully. Sorry to hear tokbox being in trouble.
