Live Interaction with the Show?

When you take question live on the show. What is the main/prefered method? Irc? Icq? Something else. I have yet to see an active #breakmanx channel on the server you posted but I may have just missed the show time.

If you mean live as in I-get-to-hear-my-voice-on-the-show live, then our only option is to do it via Yahoo! Messenger. All it really takes is you sending a message to Break, then he'd add you to our confrence.

We only ask that you have your mic ready, and have a decent knowledge of Yahoo! Messenger, so come talk time, we don't have dead air (we have enough as it is...).

If you mean just reading one of your questions on the air, then we'd prefer anything but Yahoo, because of the chance that a message would interrupt one of us while talking.

You're right though, the IRC channel is pretty much unused. It did get a few visitors when the show first started, and there were people staffing it, but that slowly died away. Now that we've got a little community here, we really should get that thing going again. Thanks for the reminder :) .

IRC is great, if you guys will use it I'd gladly get it up again.
