TodaysMeet

TodaysMeet is the perfect backchannel tool. It helps you connect with others that want to talk about the same topic in a relatively quiet place. TodaysMeet uses a live stream format to allow users to make comments, ask questions, or just talk.

TodaysMeet follows in the footsteps of Twitter with some similar characteristics; posts are limited to 140 characters, comments appear in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top), and you need typical internet connections to talk.

Where things differ is that TodaysMeet is often appropriate in more situations. For instance:

  • What if the people you want to talk to are not on Twitter?
  • You don't want your discussions to be public.
  • You only want to see a specific conversation.

TodaysMeet gives you a private room on the Internet where you see only what you want to see, no one has to learn a new tool or understand hashtags to keep everything together, and there's no login required!
