An article on the Palladium-Item website today announced the first live chat hosted by the paper's online presence, scheduled for 9 PM this Thursday to coincide with the Vice Presidential debate. The chat service is powered by the site CoverItLive.com, used by a number of other prominent media outlets for chat services, including Newsweek Magazine.
The chat offered by the paper appears to be tied to event-specific, pre-determined time periods instead of available on an ongoing basis. We've covered the availability of the always-available and free Live-Richmond.com chat room here, including in episodes 14 and 24.
If you try out this new offering on Thursday night, let us know what you think by posting a comment below!
