Caption Oprah Winfrey speaks at The Cable Show 2011 at McCormick Place, Chicago, June 16, 2011After 25 years on TV, Oprah Winfrey says she is having the time of her life on the Web.
The 57-year-old mogul is connecting with viewers through her weekly webcasts, and she says it’s “the most fun I’ve had ever.”
Winfrey’s live webcast discussions about her new show, “Oprah’s Lifeclass,” have been so popular, they’ve been added to the lineup on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
“Lifeclass” premiered earlier this month and features Winfrey sharing her favorite interviews and insights from her long-running talk show. On Fridays, she discusses “Lifeclass” lessons during an hour-long webcast with a live audience and invites viewers to comment or ask questions in person or through Facebook, Twitter and Skype.
Winfrey says connecting with her audience individually and in real time is “just a fantastic experience.”
