I just question, at times, the value and whether or not it was thought through.

I'm just having some eggnog induced fun with you. Glad you took it as such. Certainly, that's not the worst church idea I've ever seen. Like you, I found it ironic that church folk just discovered TokBox. I mean, it's been out FOREVER! But Todd mentions it and the next thing I know I have 25 invites. I couldn't even remember creating an account! It's all good. I'm just having some eggnog induced fun with you. Glad you took it as such.

In fact, he's original... the first to use TokBox in this manner. So Todd is an original gangsta in my book. In addition, perhaps you haven't given TokBox the necessary time nor attention to bear fruit from it? Todd's implementation is, in part, an example of what you call a "bust": video chat with anyone. So, you are, in effect, bringing the smack on Todd yourself. But, I appreciate your point. A number of others have already had raging success in using it for online ministry. They can probably speak up better than myself. Thanks Adam! Love it. Even the criticism. I'll take both any day. Adam,

I mean... REALLY? Todd is cash money in this biz. And for the record, I think TokBox is a bust. Sure, it's cool to be able to see a bunch of people and chat with them. But I don't have any desire to have open video chat with just anyone. I just think it's funny that a blog that ripped its name off from techcrunch is mocking Todd Rhoades for ripping off an idea.

I love a good debate, hearing both sides of the point. I actually agree with everything you said in the article! Challenging the "Church Culture" in what is and is not effective is always a good direction for a conversation!! Well done. John,
