OFF TOPIC: Best Online Chat Tool for a Live Presentation

Can you use Google forms some how to fill out and collect the info?  Or do you want the participants to see each other's chat too?

Are you just wanting to capture the questions or are you wanting everyone to see a scrolling session of the questions. 

For the later you could set up a Twitter # for your chat.  It would capture the questions and everyone courld see them at the same time.  Of course the participants need to be Twitter users.

You could make a facebook group that participants could join for the session. 

https://Join.me is a pretty great free online screen sharing tool.  Has a chat feature.  Perhaps this could capture what you need.  You may need to do a CTRL-A and copy on the chat, but all everyone could login to that.

Not the best options, but some to ponder.

Hi, Tracy!  Thanks for the reply--sorry about not acknowledging earlier.  Was rushing to get my preso done.

I needed it for a talk that I gave yesterday at a regional ASTD conference here in St. Paul on using story in e-learning.  Actually looked  at join.me and almost went with it.

In the end I decided to go low-tech and just use Post-It™ Notes to collect user input, which I'll be editing later today into my PPT so it can be a "community presentation."  Thought it was easier and "safer" to leave the technology behind.

Also, actually got to finally meet Jeanette in person for the first time at the conference and she helped me out with this.  What a wonderful person--as nice and gracious and helpful in person as she is here.

Had the exact same experience last year with David A. for some online things.  GREAT FOLKS!
