Tokbox is cool, but the interface on yakpak was really kid friendly. I noticed that "mindmeister" a favorite web based mind mapping collaboration tool just became a fee service as well (if you want it to save more than 6 mindmaps). Perhaps a trend. . .

Since we have so much invested already in Yack Pack for the year, what do you think of paying the fee for this year, until we find a replacement tool?
