Some thoughts on live blogging

April 22nd, 2006 · 2 Comments · Blogging

This blog is just five days old and I got a chance to try live blogging, at the Bangalore barcamp today.  Quite a few people were blogging live.  I noticed two different styles of live blogging.  One is to listen to a session fully, take notes (either on a notebook or on your laptop) and once the session is over, blog about it.  Another style is to blog as and when the session is running.  I followed the former style, mainly because I found it difficult to concentrate on the session and blogging, at the same time (I tried to blog while Taazza session was going on but quickly gave up) - I wanted to grasp as much information as possible from the sessions I attended.  Have you ever blogged live?  If yes, what style do you follow?

    I tried live blogging at Barcamp chennai. Found it exhausting! I took the notes route and thats the easiest. Write what you think is good during the session …

    I wouldn't say I found it exhausting to blog during the sessions, but it was a little difficult for me to concentrate on the session and blog at the same time. I want to get as much as possible out of the sessions I attend, so taking the notes route is better for me.

    Thanks for stopping by, Vinu :)
