Re: Fw: WebMD Community Update

No, you don't need audio capabilities to do a chat. It actually entails

typing to people in real time from various locations. You type in your

message, click send, then everyone else sees it and types their response to

you. I believe that the WebMD chat room is moderated, which means that

WebMD has someone there to ask the guest speaker questions, steer the

conversation to remain relevant to the topic and make sure everyone behaves

themselves. AOL has lots of (unmoderated) chat rooms on various topics,

which means it is a free-for-all on whatever the people want to discuss.

Visit one of them before the humalog chat and see how it works.

I am not sure that you need a certain software to participate in an Internet

chat. If you do, visit the WebMD site. I'm sure that they'll inform anyone

if they have what is required to participate.

Furthermore, even if you don't have the required software to participate in

the chat, you can still obtain a transcript of the chat from the website

after it is over. The previous chat on neuropathy has been transcribed and

is available on the site.

Next question: What is the WebMD website address? And what is the date and

time of the chat again? I accidentally erased original message. Thanks, Vicki

I saw your earlier message and was interested also. So I'll peek over your

shoulder when you get a response.

I just tried http://www.webmd.com and it worked!

Thanks...I think I'll give it a trial spin.

I joined it Sat night. You just have to give basic info (your address not

needed), pick a password and you're in. Whether you need additional

software or a plug-in for your browser I haven't found out yet. I did send

an email to WebMD asking them. I'll save your address and forward an

answer when I get one.

Actually, that URL is http://www.shn.webmd.com/

I have just reforwarded my earlier message regarding the chat. I do believe

you have to " join " to access the chat, but I promise that it is painless,

free and easy.

I am not certain whether certain software is required to participate in the

chat, but if you e-mail the folks at WebMD, I'm sure they'll be happy to

tell you.
