Hello. It's the Mumsnet BlogFest this Saturday .
Tickets to the Blogfest are all sold out BUT we've devised a tip-top techy way to bring Caitlin Moran and Prof Tanya Byron, two of Blogfest's headline speakers, directly to all of you on Saturday - broadcasting live on Mumsnet through Google Hangouts.
If you've never seen a Google Hangout before, it's essentially a group video chat that anyone can watch. You can see an example .
What we need now are volunteers to ask either Caitlin or Prof Tanya live questions on their Hangouts.
To be able to take part, you do need...
- To be available on Saturday: at 12.15pm for Tanya, or 5.15pm for Caitlin
- To have a webcam either in, or attached to, your computer
- To have a good internet connection (wired, ideally, but wifi is OK if it's a top-notch signal)
You don't need to have a Google+ account set up right now - although you all should have, obvs . We can talk you through how to set it all up nearer the time.
If you'd like to take part, please post the question you'd like to ask below, indicating whether it is for Caitlin or Prof T.
We'll select three or four of you from this thread for each live Hangout.
And we'll let everyone know more details on when and where you can watch the Hangouts in a few days' time.
Thanks - and good luck!
