Blogher Chatroom Transcripts
Posted 30 July 2005 - 8:45am by Laura
The live chat is humming along with some great conversation right now. It's very exciting -- women from Canada and India, too!
Periodically I'm going to copy the chat logs and post them here as attachments. You can bookmark this page to check for the latest updates.
[Update 1: The chatroom transcripts are comprehensive and unedited. In her Blogher post trackbacked below, Lisa Stone highlights a bit of discussion on the topic of flaming. There is much more in the raw transcripts. Everyone is invited to download and peruse them at their leisure.
It really was a joy to host such wonderful conversations. The quality of discussion was thanks to the participants. We were happy to be along for the ride.]
[Update 2 (August 1st): Today we received a rather churlish email from someone who apparently was having problems with the formatting of the chatroom transcripts, and instructed us to put in Unix line breaks. The thing is: the transcripts already are formatted with Unix line breaks.
However, not one who can easily simply leave things be, I tried reformatting the files with DOS line breaks, and that seems to have done the trick for Windows Notepad reading. These reformatted files are marked with the ".dos.txt" suffix. Hope this helps!]

I will take a crack at parsing the comments to make them more manageable reading. Mine open in note pad and are a bear to read.
I found by cutting and pasting into my MS Word, the text is easy to follow.
Macs and Windows machines code hard returns differently. These transcripts were saved in "plain text" Unicode (UTF-8) using Mac's TextEdit.
If you see all the text wrapped around in one massive paragraph, it could be that your notepad/text reader is not reading Mac's carriage returns. Katherine's suggestion of using Word (or another text editor or word processor) should resolve that.
