Last night’s pre-show went great!  I want to thank everyone who made it out to catch the quick pre-show live episode.  There were so many of you trying to tune in that it literally crashed the host.  I forgive you though because as I mentioned last night, you guys and girls are an awesome community.  As promised I’m back to give details on some of the new features.

Live Chat – This was just so much fun last night and probably the best part of it all.  When a live show starts you’ll see on the show’s main page “Chat Available”.  This will indicate when I’ve started the chat.  Once you see this, click on it and you’ll enter the live chat room.  This is for those shy kids out there.  You have to have an account set up to chat with everyone.  You can create an account here.  [Update] – You can join in the chat as a Guest without signing up.  You will be identified as simply Guest though.

Click to Listen or Talk – Pretty self explanatory.  When the show goes live, there will be a small button with Click to Listen on it as well as one with Click to Talk.  If you want to simply listen in, hit the Click to Listen button and if you want to call the show directly from your computer, hit Click to Talk.

Friends – The new features now allow friends to the show.  The benefit of this is that you get to enter the Chat, rate the show etc.  Trust me when I say we had an awesome time with the chat last night.  Two members even won something.  I had a little fun with everyone and the incredible support shown so I decided to hand out some Xbox Live Arcade codes. 

Once you sign up, send a friend invite to the show.  Simply click on Add to Friends on the show’s main page.  Make sure you put a picture on your profile.

iTunes – There was supposed to be an automatic download to iTunes but they’re still having issues.  What I will do though, is simply add the shows to the feed manually.  So there will be U360 Episodes and U360 Live Episodes to identify them for everyone.  You don’t have to subscribe or change to anything different, I’ll handle it all.  If you want to simply listen in to the latest live show, then head to the show’s main page or click on the media player right here on the site.

That’s it.  I want to again send a big thanks to the callers, listeners and chatters last night.  We’ll do it again this Saturday!
