Yes, there’s going to be a lot going on in the chatroom (even if much of it is repeated vowel patterns followed by h!) So, make yourself a note, show up, invite your Facebook friends and enjoy!

We just launched a widget on their Facebook page, where you can hang out, watch their videos, chat with other fans, and *sometimes* maybe even with Megan & Liz themselves!

Matmi's Musings: The Return of Real-Time Social Environments

Via Scoop.it - New Digital Media

The last few months have seen an explosive resurgence in real-time environments, last popular in the late ’90s. The interesting thing is that this new zeitgeist seems to have taken root in multiple places within the space of a few short weeks. I’ve…

Back to the original question: Why is now the right time for real-time? Why has it grabbed the collective imagination at this exact moment? Simply, it is the last great frontier in social media. It is the logical extension of an already powerful trend.”

That’s why we do what we do! Www.biglive.com is at the forefront of realtime social experiences around fun, interesting video content that everyone loves (like Family Guy).

"Five years ago social media was 3% of our total media spend. Today it’s more than 20% and growing fast."

Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent, HBR, October 2011 (via uxrave)

And for good reason, too. The Internet would be lonely without including your friends. It would be like watching the latest episode of Louie on Big Live without inviting any of your friends from Facebook…

And Now, Your Feature Presenation

So say you log into Big Live and you see a show about Nikola Tesla in the guide. You think “Great! Tesla is my favorite!” and go to the stage to watch it.

One of Big Live’s best qualities is that you are now watching the Nikola Tesla show with 672 other Nikola Tesla fans. There are 627 other people in the audience who have something in common with you, and you can see all their avatars, and chat with them in the chatroom. But, you can’t talk to 627 people at once. You have to choose just a few of these fellow Tesla fans to connect with.

That’s where the “sort” function comes in.  

Using the sort function, you can divide the crowd by gender and age, to tailor the crowd to your own demographic (or the demographic of people you want to interact with). 

And now you can talk to the people you really want to connect with.

Video of the Day

Over here at Big Live Inc. we’re feeling kind of studious today, so we decided to post our NPR Radio Pictures channel. NPR goes beyond the radio below:
