This could well turn out to be a disastrous idea... but hey!

Would anyone be interested in trying out a virtual balloon jam over www videoconferencing?

We could try to use a site such as http://www.wengomeeting.com, I haven't tried this site but it is free and you can have 5 callers.

Just after any expressions of interest - if there is any I will do a bit more research.

Whaddya reckon?

Interesting idea- I'd have to use a nice backdrop or tidy up this room    

yeh sounds good but i have already brought out this idea on the mbd2 i also named it the webcam jam we used yahoo msgr as you can have asmany members as you want we could give it another try oneday if you have yahoo add your name here mine is rollie_pollie34 you may add me if you wantjust write a short msg saying you are from here.

Yes Skype do it as well. Good idea though.

i'd be up for it. trans-atlantic balloon jam.

I just registered the web-domain 'balloonjam.com" I plan - eventually - hosting regularly scheduled internet jams.

that sounds like fun

sounds good but just looked at the website and its boston twisters is that right?

Just in case anyone is interested, the domain balloonjam.co.uk is still available. Thought that might be good for you Graham.

Someone must have been quick off the mark Graeme because it has gone now...

ha ha Sorry Martin, Just went and had another look, I had typed it in with three 'ooo's for balloon by mistake. Thought it was strange that it was still available.  :oops:

sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread. But you are right, I have pushed up a site for Boston twisters now, I'm using that as a template to duplicate for other areas, then the main page will just be a balloonjam.com page and then I'll work on the internet jams

Back on topic - I am all for a webcam jam.

Sounds like fun. I've noticed, though, that when I'm online I'm usually all by myself. Most of you are probably sleeping at this hour. Hmm. Guess I'd be the one adjusting to a time change, huh?
