I’m watching the BCS Championship game live on ESPN3 right now. At the same time, I’m also watching their forums update in realtime.
ESPN3 BCS Championship Game Live
This is what our forums product looks like during a live event.
ESPN Forums Live During the BCS Championship Game
And this is how it’s better than a typical forum (watch the video).
ESPN Live Forums Example from Kelly Abbott on Vimeo.
A pass is made and seconds later users are posting comments about it in our forums. You don’t even have to refresh the page. Talk about a true second-screen experience. It’s hard to know which game to watch: ESPN3 football or the ESPN forums verbal gymnastics on their forums.
Walk on over to the forums now and join me, yeah? (BTW, if you’re reading this after January 9, 2012 at about 8PM PST, you’re probably too late. But I’ll post some more videos later.)
