ScribbleLive adventures, frozen yogurt and chatting about the Affordable Care Act

The Affordable Care Act, upheld by the Supreme Court on Thursday, is confusing to say the least.

So, I figured it might be fun times to try and hold a live chat.

(I’ve decided to discontinue the weekly live chats, I think, and focus them on timely, current events as they happen.)

This was the perfect opportunity.

I got to work calling some local law firms I had worked with for past chats.

I did it all while eating ice cream topped with blueberries at my ideaLab mobile reporting office du jour: Sweet Frog frozen yogurt …

Yep. This is what I call an office these days.

Anywho, I created a ScribbleLive event and invited my fabulous volunteers by sending them a link generated by the program.

I was SO proud of myself.

Instachat.

Then, Friday rolls around.

I get a call from the marketing director at one of the law firms.

“What’s the log-in and password?” she asked.

Evidently, the link directed her lawyer to a log-in screen, instead of into the chat.

Crap.

In an emergency, I asked them to comment on the ydr.com page, like any of our readers would.

Does anyone know what I might have done wrong?

In any case, crisis averted.
