Mike,
I think if you go to "groups" you will see a number of conversations in progress. And, if you go to the Conversations/StoryNet section there are other conversations going...very lively. Did I understand your question? I hope so--as I'm not a very skilled on-line person yet.
With warm regards,
Juanita

Hi Juanita,
hi Mike,

Online conversations such as Skype or other chat? If that is what you meant perhaps the following could be useful.

A good and easy way of doing on-the-spot online-conversations is the Online Chat (right here on the very bottom of this window).

Even though people are changing (depending on their online-status) this could be a good early start.

What do you think?

Best regards

Ralf

PS.: There is no plan until we act;-)

Thank you both for your thoughts. I did find the chat feature and will try it soon.

Ideally, I ultimately would like to make the acquaintance of some folks that might like to try engaging in a live structured, led, topical discussion of say thirty to sixty minutes. I envision a classical small group discussion format, but using (free) audio or video Internet conferencing to connect the participants. I have not done this yet: I believe the start up would be filled with glitches. But whatever the initial shortfalls, I believe such conversations would provide a stimulating, unique, and rich experience.

Mike

Hi Mike,

I think one of the best ways to do this might be to just design and schedule one and send out an invitation to join you. There is also a group set up to explore World Cafes online, and you might like to join us there, as that is our focus.

Warm Wishes,

Amy
