March: rgz LIVE! with Mary E. Pearson

Our March Feature
Hey rgz!

Welcome to rgz LIVE! with Mary E. Pearson. We are PSYCHED to hold this live chat/LOVEfest in her honor tonight.

We know everyone will be patient as we try out this new software. Feel free to let us know if you dig it or don't. No hurt feelings! Really. This is just a shot, and Mary is so kind to be flexible with us. It seems like the free technology just isn't quite the perfect match with what we want to do. Let's see what we can figure out together.

This will be more like a free flowing party than what we are used to at the MySpace group forum. Mary may catch a few questions as she sees them stream by. No pressure on anyone though. Just enjoy the moment as we celebrate The Adoration of Jenna Fox. Let the party begin!

  3. I had so much fun tonight!

    Things I loved:
    -the polls
    -the way it felt much more like a book club DISCUSSION vs. a mere Q&A

    The only thing I'm unsure about is how FAST it goes...it's really hard to keep up...any more people and I would've been completely overwhelmed...but I did like the software a lot, so.

  6. I'm with Erin that it was REALLY fast, but it did feel like a real chat, and I think it helps that you can post the questions at the bottom. But it was a lot of fun and a great discussion. :-)

  7. That chat was so cool! It was great to see everyone's responses instantly instead of having to refresh a billion times.

    Next semester I'm keeping my Thursday nights free.

  9. That was a fantastic event - fast and furious and heard some great stuff and had the chance to chat with some wonderful writers - what could be more fun?

    Thanks for making this happen!

  10. Erin really summed up my feeling about the new software. I do think we had a lot of interaction happening - debates and discussion a bit more than with MySpace. The polls are a really great way to stimulate conversation. Love that.

    If there were lots of people, I don't know how it would work. I think it is well worth trying to problem solve about that issue, since there was a lot of positive reponse to the change.

    I'm open to trying it another time!
