Welcome to The Senate Site

Question:

If we hand-crafted a press conference for bloggers -- what would it look like?

Brainstorming . . . a high-speed wireless connection, six or seven chairs in a circle. Livestreaming video. Podcast?

Help us out here.

Apparently I can't spell tonight. Take Two:

I'm not 100% positive what technology they are using (something similar to Skype, I've been told) but bloggingheads.tv has done "multiple party" debates with several people at once (we talked for a while about doing this on the Bloghive, but the costs were too high), which might work just as well for a "presser." There are also several "pay as you go" services like GoToMeeting around. We use NowLive for the For the People show (video and chat), could be applied to a presser.

Personally, I'd prefer and be most likely to use something that involved a live stream with a chat option for questions, and restrictions on logins to avoid drive by disruptors.

I'm definitely in favor of a mix of in-person and telecommuting options so that bloggers in the more far-flung areas can participate with minimal fuss. Free software like Teamspeak can offer voice and text chat and there are clients for Windows, Mac and Linux. Definitely include live and archived video or audio.

There was one that was done with Chris Cannon a couple of year ago that worked pretty well.

I used Linux so if a Windows only platform is selected I would not be participating.
