Social Media Word of the Day: Liveblogging
May 5th, 2008 | Published in Social Media, Terminology | 2 Comments
Definition: Taking notes during a conference and publishing them for others to read in real-time.
Examples: Time Magazine liveblogs the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, A participants liveblogs IBM CEO Sam Palmisano’s keynote at BPLC, and Venturebeat liveblogs from the Web 2.0 Expo.
Analysis: Liveblogging is a valuable resource, both for people who are not able to attend the conference and those who want to continue the conversation started at the conference once it concludes. Twitter has become a popular tool for sharing mini-updates from conferences as well.
More Resources: Bruno Giussani has some great liveblogging tips. There’s also a new software tool that’s supposed to make this much easier called CoverItLive, although I haven’t tried it yet myself.
