it pretty
I find it pretty cool - though it is an extremely niche application. Doing such a thing with Ustream though can be pretty cool (most live broadcasting solutions offer 2 hosts only).

Never Able to graduate!
Will I ever be able to graduate, Jeff, with our Galactic Webcastacademy reaching all cyberspaces out there?
I thought I was doing pretty well, but now Ustream, SL...I wonder how I'd have to change my settings to do that...
I really wanted to learn it!
Loved to see you on video.
Beijos,

This is very cool
Hi Jeff,
Congratulations. I have enjoyed the Ustream at academy a lot. Strongly commend to post Worldbridge image on your background, if you could make a small icon down in the video straming corner, would be better. Wish I could join you all later, but I know it wouldn't be that soon. Have fun!

Jeff Rocks!
Very interesting . . . .
Hi, Jeff.
This sounded very interesting, and I noticed that there was also a lot of
activity in the chatroom.
I wish I'd been able to participate. I broke my glasses yesterday, and had to
spend an inordinate amount of time getting an exam and new glasses today.
I do have a usable "every day" pair now, though, and my "dress up" pair
should arrive in about a week.
I hope to know when the next event like this happens and to participate in it.
