Notre Dame Forum 2006

Here’s a little tip if you want to see some serious web 2.0 action for a good cause (I hate myself for saying web 2.0): Today, at 1:15PM, the Notre Dame Forum on the Global Health Crisis is going to be webcast live on the Forum website.

On the left side of the webcast is an area where you can take your own notes and on the right is a photos area that live updates as pictures get added. This page is streaming video (it is the year of video), ajax live updating photos, and using ajax to save all your notes for the forum (it will even email you all your notes with timestamps after things settle down).

If you are on campus, go to the forum and if you aren’t, watch the live webcast and enjoy some web 2.0 goodness (ok, I promise I will never say that again on this blog).
