ooVoo for Ubuntu – A FREE Cloud based alternative to ooVoo for Ubuntu Linux user has just been released. No need for wine and No Download Required.
If you are an avid Ubuntu Linux user like myself than you can get rather upset when their is an app that can’t be found for or at least substituted in Ubuntu. After installing Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04 on a small fleet for PCs in an Internet cafe Job I was working for I came across a dilemma. The Internet cafe is not far from a local high school and a community college and alot of the students their have gotten a custom to video conferencing using a program called ooVoo. Being that so many Software and Application Company’s are smarting up now a days and going the Firefox / Google Chrome route, I naturally figured that ooVoo would be offering a app to download so EVERYONE who was interested in it would be able to use their service. Unfortunately I was sadly mistaken and although thier is an App people can Download for Mac OSX, Ubuntu linux users are being left out in the cold.

After some Google Searching and some unsuccessful fiddling around with Wine I decided to search for an alternative. That is When I found Tokbox! Tokbox is A FREE Cloud based alternative to ooVoo for Ubuntu Linux user has just been released. No need for wine or a Virtual Box and thier is nothing to Download. Tokbox is a website that brings video conferencing into the cloud. What does than mean for you? It will work on any computer that has a web browser and Adobe Flash installed. That means that literally everyone out know can use it and the best part it works INSTANTLY. Just send them a link through facebook, twitter, Aim, Google Talk or even an email and they can connect this you in a matter of seconds. Take that ooVoo and their is no need for the recipient for the invitation to sign up either. Simply click the link and you are inside a live video conference. I will be installing a Web App using Google Chrome today on all the computers in the Internet cafe today and their will be a big shinny icon on everyones desktop pointing to the TokBox App on everyones home screen.
