Buzz Out Loud Lounge: Live Show Chat
Live Show Chat
by philb30 - 2/27/08 6:47 PMAs some know, I've set up a page where you can view all 3 cams/chats on one page. After my thinking and feedback from some users I've added a unified chat option that uses a standard IRC room and am looking for feedback.
You can see the new version at http://bol.pb30.com using an IRC widget and the 3 webcams.
For those that watch/chat during the live show would you prefer a single chat over using 2 or 3 chats?
What type of chat do you prefer? (IRC, Meebo, other?) (Note: All options would be embedded on the page and require no extra software)
Do you want to view other user's streams?
Filters/Moderation?

Would you like features outside of just chat?

Flexibility
by al409 - 2/27/08 7:00 PM In reply to: Live Show Chat by philb30How important is your ability to access these resources easily?
Is bandwith and load times a problem?
Should information directly from the live show be easily available?
Is iPhone/iPod Touch support important?
Should as much of the interface being web oriented as possible?
How important is interface useability?
Why do you want to listen to Buzz Out Loud Live?
by al409 - 2/27/08 7:04 PM In reply to: Live Show Chat by philb30Are you planning on regularly watching the show live?
Do you listen just because you like Molly's necklace?
Do you listen for the live jokes and commentary?
Do you listen in order to gain better access to the hosts?
Do you listen hoping to pull of the craziest "
Well actually..." ever?
Are you hoping to comment and here the reaction on the show?
Do you enjoy just commenting with other people who listen to Buzz Out Loud?
One chat
by LeetheSchmee - 2/27/08 9:18 PM In reply to: Live Show Chat by philb30I would prefer one chat so we can get here waht all the other citizens thoughts are on the current topic.
Also I don't know if it is just my computer, but all the webcams are on top of eachother, which makes it impossible for me to view them all at once, is it possible to make them side by side? if not I will figure something out.
Keep up the good work! you have made this work so great!
Please remember us in the low bandwidth parts of the world..
by manu_nis - 2/28/08 2:13 AM In reply to: Live Show Chat by philb30Hi
Firstly, I think that a regular IRC chat is by far the best option... it's simple and straight forward and there are about a brazillion ways to interact with it.
Secondly, as a South African where we we still pay heavily for bandwidth usage, I would love to be able to get *just* the live audio... I realize that this might be impossible with yahoo live but maybe there is some other service that can serve just the audio?
that's my 2c
j.
I think it's great!
by rafacst - 2/28/08 3:26 AM In reply to: Live Show Chat by philb30Mainly because I don't have access to the Yahoo Live chat. Thanks!
awesome
by TaraLOI - 2/28/08 10:50 AM In reply to: I think it's great! by rafacstonce I got the levels going, chat and video worked pretty well today! Thanks for setting up the website!
Video gets nothing
by kevinor - 2/28/08 10:58 AM In reply to: awesome by TaraLOIAm I crazy? Everytime I try to go to this yahoo live deal, it always says "not broadcasting" over the video(s). However, the "time broadcasting" value for Tom, and Jason keeps going up on their profile pages. Plus people are chatting about the show as it's on. WHY CAN'T I SEE THE VIDEO?
RE: video gets nothing
by ltsiver - 2/28/08 11:07 AM In reply to: Video gets nothing by kevinorSince yahoo live is beta/experimental, after getting so many users looking at it, it crashes, giving "Null Error". That is why you did not see video.

IRC rules, the page can use some tweaking
by vinhpoo - 2/28/08 11:08 AM In reply to: Live Show Chat by philb30I like the IRC chat option a lot better than the Yahoo offer.
I might rearrange the windows, though, so that Tom and Molly are side-by-side up top, then the chat window below, then jason below that.
Nothing against Jason, i'm just typically wanting to read / chat in the chat and watch Tom and Molly, and the IRC window is big enough that I can't do that as easily now.
