Added the new Tokbox to my MySpace page and finally works!

I have been using Tokbox with family/friends now for over 3 months and I must say I am impressed with the technology. You have the option to embed the feature into your MySpace page, and you also have a conference page setup for you when you initially sign up for the free account. They made some changes to this embed feature, when I had it originally it didn't work, but now the new feature appears to work great!

When you embed to the MySpace page, others that hit the page will be able to "call" you from within the MySpace page itself, no other software is needed on their part, just the camera and microphone. When you happen to be on a call, others that hit your MySpace page will see you in the call, and can either opt to join the conference, or simply view the video.  Voice quality has been good for 2-3 people in the conference, but you get some modulation at times with more than 3. With the 1 to 1 chat, or a conference with only 2 people, voice quality is very good. Check out TokBox for yourself!
