how have people been using mugshot?

by Christopher Blizzard

It’s pretty cool to actually see people using mugshot in the real world and how they use it. People always end up using it for things you didn’t expect. Here are a few things I’ve observed:

Red Hat Summit 2006

I walked around the back of the audience during Eben’s talk and watched people playing with mugshot. First, someone sent out a BIO on Eben and everyone joined the chat. They chatted about the talk as it went on and then once it was done, they left. A purely topical chat, something that we don’t see except on forums on the web. Except that this was live.

Event Planning

There’s an Arlington, MA group. It was kind of neat to see someone send out a link and then talk about what who might go to it, previous years, etc. And then leave once it was over. There’s no IRC-Guilt where you feel like you should hang out in a channel once a discussion is over.

Neat stuff.
