First Impressions of Oprah’s New Online Class

My first impressions of Oprah’s online class where they are discussing Eckart Tolle’s A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose:

We are are experiencing technical difficulties due to internet congestion. We recommend that you come back tomorrow to watch the entire webcast easily on Oprah.com. You can even download the podcast on Oprah.com or iTunes.

Hmm . . . I’m not surprised. Will try again later I suppose.

Hey you! Yes. You! I've noticed that you've stopped by to visit a few times! But I don't know who you are. Why don't you take a moment and introduce yourself. Don't be scared. I try not to bite. I know you're a lurker but I'd love to hear your thoughts about what's been bringing you here. And if you haven't done so already, don't forget to never miss a post by subscribing to my feed or receiving updates by email. Thanks for visiting!

  1. Oh dear! I think my Aunt was supposed to be participating in this event. Hopefully they can get it together!

  2. My mom was able to log in and watch the preshow but then the connection got slower and slower, and then finally stopped altogether before the started the official class. She called to see if it was just her. Nope! In all the forums I’ve visited I haven’t actually heard anybody say they watched it. Everybody said they couldn’t get in. Of course, Oprah’s people sent an email apologizing, stick with us as we are the front runner in this new technology. But you would think that with more than 500,000 signed up, that they knew they weren’t prepared to handle it.
