> 2. Chatrooms for discussing papers
I think this has more potential than the OP considered, but you have to optimize for asynchronous communication. Have conversations in chat, but if there's someone you want to talk to in particular direct message or email them. If the two of you seem mutually interested in each other's ideas, set up a time to have a live conversation
- jimktrains2 7y agoIsn't this a forum or bbs?
- takanori 7y agoWhat if instead of text based chat you had to post voice responses. May make it more real?
- founderMuspic 7y agoyou are right we have voice notes option for that which is digital version of sticky notes. They remain active for 24 hours only in your inbox. You can use it as voice chat also. You should download app for android and recommend to your friends too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.demo.muspiclite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.demo.muspic...
- Eridrus 7y agoYes, but a forum where you would expect the quality of discussion to be high. I feel some sympathy for grad students, but am personally quite excited to see how this plays out since I've wanted virtual conferences to be more of a thing since I started pirating Blackhat/DEF CON videos as a teenager :)
- closeparen 7y agoYou don’t “have” to make things async just because they’re remote.
- ghaff 7y agoYou don't "have" to. But you either present multiple times; we used to do this for webinars--I think we mostly don't any longer because most people watch on-demand anyway. Or you split the difference of about 9 hours of time zones to accommodate the western US through central Europe with the event starting about 7am in California and ending around 9pm in Europe. And, for a US event, you basically ignore Asia.
