Add Y! Live to your Sidebar!
Douglas KarrI’m pretty excited about Y! Live - fantastic technology! So I decided to go ahead and put it live in my sidebar! When I’m broadcasting, you can see me working at the ol’ laptop right in my sidebar. How did I do it? It took a little bit of work, but I figured it out.
The biggest hurdle to get over was that Yahoo!’s documentation had the URL incorrect to point to the actual broadcast!

Will be an interesting experiment to see; what will overweight: the gain in communication or diminished productivity? Isn’t there a fair chance that you get interrupted more easily while at work?
but that said, this is exciting technology, for now I think best suited for the home market.
I’m not going to broadcast during working hours - you’re right, this could really interrupt my productivity!
