Hi Stephanie, I hope this works out well for you. The Cover It Live software looks great, last week there was a program on Channel4 and straight after the show they held a live chat online and it went very well. Obviously there was heavy moderation there and that is the only way it was going to work well. If you have a big enough user base and someone to handle the comments then it seems to be one of the best ways to hold a debate online imo. Thanks, Ryan.

I am glad you found out that user interaction is the best way to go. This is exactly why people use internet. You will always have trolls because this is the way it is. It's like a world without wars, diseases and money problems. It's something impossible. Just get rid of them and keep going with your work.

Thanks Jim! I’ll probably do a followup post once we’ve been at it a little longer. We brought in our first proper guest yesterday when a state senator joined the chat from the floor of the legislature. That was kind of neat Still learning though!
