Quiver & Quill

Last year at SXSW there were Meebo online chat rooms in which people who attended panels discussed them in real time. Some panelist had their laptops open on stage and were following along with audience comments in the Meebo online chat rooms. It created an intriguing dynamic between the panelist, the audience questions and the dialogue happening within the Meebo online chat rooms.  Watching Current TV’s Hack the Debate III reminded me of this SXSW experience. If you didn’t catch Hack the Debate, it’s a mashup between Current TV live streaming the presidential debate and Twitter running comments at the same time the debate is being shown. Very good example of collaborative media.
