Here we post announcements replated to our weekly chat program, started in July of 1996. The chats themselves take place at www.samizdat.com/chat-intro.html and edited transcripts and schedule are available at www.samizdat.com/chat.html The overall topic is Business on the Web, but each session has its own focus, and often the focus topic would carry over for three or four weeks (depending on participation). The format is a group of peers discussing subjects of common interest, sharing with and learning from one another.

We send out email notices once or twice a week -- and post edited versions the transcripts on the Web (making them more readable by reconstructing the threads of discussion). We use a chat platform provided by SiteScape, which is HTML-based, which means that you see all the content, not
just what is typed when you are there; and the complete raw transcripts are saved automatically. The live chats take place on Thursdays from noon to 1 PM Eastern Time. Please join us. If you have any questions, just drop me an email at seltzer@samizdat.com Richard Seltzer www.samizdat.com
