INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO
"CHAT"
We
have devised an user-friendly software that provides a simple format
through which you can "chat" with the personality in question.
The website will notify the person as well as the date and time when he
will be available for a "chat" with our viewers (in this case,
between 2.30 and 3.30 pm on November, 12). All you have to do is to click
on the "Chat" button on our home page. On the subsequent screen,
click on the "FOR CHAT" link at the appointed date and time
and ask your question after typing your name (or a pseudonym). If you are
too busy to be online at the appointed hour, you can ask your question in
advance by clicking on the TO STORE QUESTIONS link. Our software will
"store" the question and place it before the interviewee at the
appointed hour.
Your
question will come up before the interviewee through a special window
which will not be seen by you. Please allow for a reasonable time to
elapse after you have send your question for the answer to appear on your
viewing screen. Remember that the interviewee may be answering other
questions and your question is in the queue. Also, it may take time for
the interviewee to answer your question. It is only after the interviewee
is satisfied with the answer will it appear on your viewing screen.
It
is important to note that the interviewee can exercise the option of not
answering your question. In that case your question will not come up on
your viewing screen because there will be no answer to it!
Press
on the ARCHIVE link on the page to see the full transcript of the
"chat".
PLEASE NOTE
THE CHAT BUTTON ON THE HOME PAGE IS
NOT PASSWORD PROTECTED. ANYONE AND EVERYONE CAN JOIN IN THE
"CHAT"
NOTE
SINCE
THE ?CHAT? IS BASED ON JAVA SOFTWARE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CHAT
LIVE FROM AN OFFICE COMPUTER WHICH IS PROTECTED BY A FIREWALL THAT DOES
NOT ALLOW AN INTERFACE WITH ?CHAT? SOFTWARE. HOWEVER, YOU CAN
?STORE? YOUR QUESTIONS AND SEE THE TRANSCRIPTS OF THE ?CHAT? BY
CLICKING ON THE ?ARCHIVE? LINK ON THE PAGE EVEN IF YOU ARE OPERATING
THROUGH A FIREWALL. YOU CAN DO A ?LIVE CHAT? ONLY THROUGH A COMPUTER
WHICH IS NOT FIREWALL PROTECTED.
