Christie's Live — 'Watch the auction, hear the auctioneer and bid live from your own computer'

Just launched this past Wednesday, July 12, Christie's Live is a "real-time multimedia auction experience."

Long story short: you register here at least two business days before the sale and they give you a virtual paddle with its very own number to [virtually] hold up should you decide to bid.

What fun: everyone will think you're beavering away at your desk while you're furiously going mano a mano with Charles Saatchi.

w00t!
