A twitter /facebook chat room
I am always looking for new ways to create backchannels or online meeting spaces. So this following little tool, Savor Chat, quite intrigued me and I thought that we could try it out. I will leave the chat room open for now, just to see how it works.
Basically you can sign into the chat room with either your twitter username or your facebook e-mail address and password. You can also choose if you want your tweet/update to appear in yout twitter /Facebook home stream. You can access it on the Savor chat site or embed the chat into your blog/site using an iframe. It does however, have google ads on with links to chat rooms. This could be a calamity when using it with learners. The creators of the site are working on a paid version where you can remove advertising and will be offered more advanced features.
Whenever someone post you get a direct message notefying you as well as a sound warning (if you have set it that way).
If you want to see how it works, come chat to me here: http://www.savorchat.com/chat/learn-with-maggie
