Liberal.ca Announces “Live” Town hall – Anything Goes They Say

“Tune in on Sunday, April 3, at 11:00am EDT, to a special live town hall that will be streamed online at Liberal.ca. During the event, Michael Ignatieff will unveil the Liberal Platform and answer questions from Canadians.”

Live streaming video meetings are very common. It is perhaps one of the most efficient ways to conduct business with people online who are near or a far. All you need is a good Internet connection and any digital device in which enables you to browse the Internet.

Wondering what to expect at a “Streaming Live Townhall Meeting?”

Most times, you will log on with a username (either private or public) and then you will see a screen counting down to the actual start time. You may also see a nice chat section in which all viewers can post information, ask questions, and network with others participants.

Then, when the clock strikes and the start time hits a host my pop on to introduce the speaker(s) and also moderate the forum.

Yes, you will indeed be able to see the speakers via Video (or at least I am hope so!).

A few of the popular streaming video tools online today include:

Overall, I can say I have learnt a lot from other live streaming shows and I do quite enjoy them.

What are your thoughts? Would you stream live? Or perhaps join a live streaming show?

Liberal candidate Justin Trudeau’s QR Code Links to Porn Site

April 1/2011: UPDATE – Ah, Nice April Fools Day Joke!!!!

 

 

This really sucks “Liberal candidate’s QR code leads to porn site”.

What is a QR Code? Here is a definition from wikipedia:

A QR code (short for Quick Response) is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.

Personally, I think it’s a great thing that Justin Trudeau is adapting to and using a wide variety of digital media throughout his campaign, and also to promote important initiatives to people who need to know.

However, as this mistake points out there can also be major pitfalls. As in this example of digital media usage, this is simply a human error… Someone made a typo, and did not check their work.

The good news now is that they are in negotiation with the porn site owner to buy that domain, which means – another porn site will be removed from the Internet – ya!

Other examples of Justin Trudeau’s usage of digital media include:
