Earlier today on my BBM Channel, JT suggested that I turn on the "Chat Hours" of my BBM Channel so I could have regularly-occurring conversations with my subscribers. It was a great suggestion, so I'm wasting no time in doing it!
I've now set my Chat Hours schedule to begin on Mondays and Wednesdays starting at 12:30pm Central Time (aka 1:30pm Eastern, aka 6:30pm GMT). I only set them to be live for thirty minutes for now, but I'm sure once we get going I'll keep typing until my thumbs develop blisters or somebody in our virtual office yells at me to get back to work.
As for what we'll chat about, well - that's up to YOU! I'd assume BlackBerry will be a topic of choice among many, but I'm well-versed in many subjects, including Formula 1, Gordon Lightfoot, Yoga Pants, The Art Of Picking Up Women (seriously, Miss CrackBerry is like an 11 while I'm maybe a 6.5) and much, much more... :p
Seriously though, I'm really looking forward to connecting with all of you on BBM Channels. This is exactly the kind of intimacy that sets BBM apart from other social platforms. If you have a question for me, this is your chance to ask it. I have no idea how easy or crazy this will be to manage, so I thank you in advance for your patience. I'll do my best to message everybody to messages me. Let's have some fun!
If you're not already subscribed to my channel, you can search for CrackBerry Kevin in BBM channels and find it that way, or add C00010BC5 or scan the barcode below. And if you're reading this and have yet to use BBM Channels, be sure to check out our guide on How To Use BBM Channels.
