Like many of you, I’ve been itching to have a plethora of development capabilities integrated into a single unified interface that does not require me to constantly scour the Internet, or several different vendors’ sites, or even just constantly ping around various different “repositories”, for [...]

A Little Bit:
Tokbox’s premise is a Web-based free video calling service. It was highlighted earlier today on CNBC, and it is being funded by one of the YouTube founders.
