So, here's how it works... the chat is Web at 5PM PST. Typically focused on a topic and usually with a host... although tonight's is hostless. The topic is Google+.

"Attendees" essentially get onto twitter and search/follow the #wjchat tag... a great way to follow along is through http://tweetchat.com/room/wjchat

Questions get asked and everyone is encouraged to answer.... it's the wisdom of the crowd that makes this chat work. Different levels of experience, different perspectives informing and influencing each other.

It's like attending a Web journalism cocktail party where there are dozens of conversations going on.

I think you should encourage your participants to watch or jump in tonight... I think two of your students actually volunteer for us too.

Hope to see you tonight,

Robert
