Want to Chat?

I'm on vacation, so playing with various things.

One of my ideas for General Convention is to have a chat room available at various times during the day. So, I'm testing out a particular product:

http://www.stickam.com/

Stickam has the advantage of allowing both audio and cams. The other rooms there are mainly made up of young people, some with extremely foul mouths, so I cannnot recommend them.

I've created a room with a password, so we won't have to deal with such folks.

So, if you want to help me out, come visit the room. Here's what you have to do:

1. Go to Stickam.
2. Register. Its fairly non intrusive and just takes a minute.
3. You'll be asked to go to the email account you used and respond to the Stickam email.
4. Once you are logged in, go to group chat.
5. Scroll down to "Episcopal Chat."
6. Enter this password: TEC815

Come try it out. If this works, we'll be using it as a part of the reception hosted by the Evangelism and Congregational Life Center at General Convention, as well as periodically throughout Convention.

Dates and times of regular chat sessions TBA...for now, if you don't find "Episcopal Chat" on the menu, check back later. Once again, I do not encourage you to visit any of the public rooms. They can be quite toxic.
