Zata|Live is a cutting-edge video-forum technology that allows lawmakers to connect with their constituencies.  In today’s mobile world, a growing share of voters do not have landline telephones.  However, their connection to the Internet continues to strengthen, touching nearly every area of their lives.  Many voters feel far more comfortable online than they would on a telephone forum.

For viewers, the Zata|Live experience is far more than simply sitting and staring at the screen.  The interface allows interesting and involving interaction during the forum.  For instance, viewers can ask questions to the congressman, participate in online polls with realtime results, or sign up for the congressman’s email updates.  The interface also allows the lawmaker to take advantage of online fundraising with a Donate Now button.
