A thought
Is there nothing dumber than live-blogging? I say this of no one in particular.
Please stop the madness. Watch the event, write down what happened, and an hour or so later post it to your site. Give yourself time to think about what you are writing instead of imparting to thousands of readers clunkily worded insta-drool like "Murdock said the future of the web is on toilet rools. He said it was good. I liked what he said." It really adds nothing to the conversation.
Just because you have the ability to post instantaneously doesn't mean you should.
