It almost feels a bit like what Google Wave was supposed to be, but it sounds infinitely easier to grasp from a usability standpoint. Chats are great for encouraging interaction between fans. This seems ideal for encouraging interaction between bands/sports teams/etc. and fans.

Good deal getting the blog going. I’ve already shared the link with many of my musician friends. Now I need to get off my hind end and update mine more often.

@Leah There are definitely similarities, and your comment makes me wonder whether CoverItLive would be useful for collaborative documents. You could make a few people "producers", and all collectively edit text.. again though, just like using Wave as an IM client, you'd be dressing a platform up as something else. If it looks like a duck..

Wow, just saw how this is being used to cover updates from the earthquake in Haiti: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/haiti-earthquake/article1429392/

Nice to read about this from the admin perspective, Brian.

I can certainly see the potential for this tool on a broad level. Consider: international or cross-country business meetings; trade-show feeds/chats; mini-demos (although if the video is still buggy, it could be a little counter productive); classroom lectures, in additon the uses you’ve been able to highlight here.

From the user end, I agree it is fairly simple to navigate. The interface (from my experience) is seamless from one platform to the next, including accessing ‘interviews’ from my iPod.

Thanks for posting about these experiences!
