We’re teaming up with KYMN Radio 1080 AM for today’s Northfield Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) meeting at City Hall which will focus on the proposed new building at 25 Bridge Square.
We’ll have both the video and live-chat on both sites, and all chat conversation across both sites will be visible in either site’s chat window so it doesn’t matter which site you visit. Continue reading Live chat and live video for Thursday’s HPC meeting at 4:30 pm

In early Feb. I tested an interactive live blogging tool called CoverItLive and liked it. I’ve not used it since because there’s no wi-fi available (GRRRR) during City Council or School Board meetings, two events that would seem to lend themselves to interactive live blogging. But there’s now an app called PDAnet for my Android / T-Mobile G1/Google phone that allows it to easily be used as a tethered USB modem. (It’s slow, since there’s still no T-Mobile 3G service here in Northfield (GRRR) I plan to try using it tonight for the City Council meeting.
11 am update: I’m doing a test to see if my 2G connection speed will be able to handle it. Ignore for now.
11:45 am update: DONE! It works. (continued)

 Due to some last-minute scheduling problems, I’ve cancelled tonight’s Live chat on Northfield business. I’ll post an update as soon as I get it rescheduled. My apologies!

 I’ve had my Meebo group chat window on the LG Live page (1-to-1 chat with me) for a while but people don’t seem to find it. So after last night’s test run of our new (moderated) Live Chat feature, I thought I’d experiment putting it a Meebo Room Chat (many-to-many chat) in the right sidebar. You don’t need an account or username to participate but it helps if you put your real name in the ‘edit nickname’ window before you start typing.

 Last week, the Strib hosted a one hour live chat with its opinion journalist, Lori Sturdevant, on the topic of the state deficit and other issues at the Legislature. I liked how it was done and the web service they used for it so we’re going to experiment doing live chats here on Locally Grown, typically focused on an important issue with one or more guests/panelists.
I’ve tentatively scheduled a live chat with RepJ reporter Bonnie Obremski on the business story that she wrote last week for tomorrow night, Tues. March 3, 8 pm. I hope to have some other featured panelists included, too.
But first, I’m going to test it tonight at 8 pm, right here in this blog post. The topic: Locally Grown, of course. Ask questions about our new design, the advertising, the traffic, the content, the discussions, guest bloggers, etc.
