Social Media in the Springtime - Act II

Thanks for coming back from intermission. It's time for Act II, in which teens that can't seem to get into the library use the Internet to participate in a whole new way.

I recently used an interesting product called Cover It Live.

Cover It Live allows users to develop a live, interactive blog and chat. You can lead conversation online and the web interface allows attendees to comment and discuss. If you're worried about content, there is even a feature that lets you accept or deny comments as they are made. Another neat feature is the ability to show pictures, videos, and create polls for users to take on the spot! You can also use the software to monitor tweets about your event/book club/conversation.

So if you are looking for something unique to do with teens or adults that just can't seem to get to the library, Cover It Live might be the answer. I've used it for conferences and discussion, but I have a feeling it would be a big hit with a book club or conversation group.

Give it a try - I'd love to know what you and your users think.
