Today we’re launching Sidewire Chats. Most importantly, this means our platform will be focused on supporting hosted, public chat conversations about the news.

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Most of you have experienced a growing number of ‘Livewires’ on Sidewire. We’ve made feature improvements to ‘Livewires’ to support hosted chats, and as result, have dubbed them Sidewire Chats.

We also rebuilt sidewire.com and updated the appearance of the Front Page on mobile.  All of this has been done to better showcase the great chats happening on Sidewire. You should update Sidewire on your phone to see the latest version.

We now have more than 500 Newsmakers with Sidewire accounts, and several of them have already made plans to host recurring chats. Here are just a few:
* Democratic strategist and former spokesman for President Obama Ben LaBolt and Lis Smith, a Democratic strategist and former deputy campaign manager for Governor Martin O’Malley
* Bloomberg View columnist Eli Lake
* Republican Strategist Alex Conant, the former top communications aide to Marco Rubio
* Democratic Strategist Tracy Sefl
* Ron Christie, a former White House aide to President George W. Bush
* Mary Kate Cary, a former White House speechwriter to President George H. W. Bush

Our work to build Sidewire has been energized by the incredible discussions we see on the platform everyday. This update is a big step toward supporting even more of those great conversations, and we could not be more excited.

As always, thank you for using Sidewire.

Sincerely,
Team Sidewire
