Lee's tweets collected during @MackCollier 's #BlogChat by @zkellyq

  1. 1 Pre Event Live Blogging: Answer why, who, what, when, where - Plan for specifics but be open to spontaneity #blogchat
  2. 1 I like to create suspense: write a pre-event post, reach out to session speakers for tips, crowd source sessions to cover #blogchat
  3. Be open minded about what "event" means for live blogging. IRL conferences, workshops, press events, training. Online AND Off. #blogchat
  4. Also try to be a media sponsor. we were the 1st Blog to Media Sponsor for SES, Pubcon, SMX, eMetrics. BIG exposure. #blogchat
  5. Be open minded about what "event" means for live blogging. IRL conferences, workshops, press events, training. Online AND Off. #blogchat
  6. Liveblog virtual conferences, webinars, tele classes (where allowed). There's a ton of archived content - never been blogged. #blogchat
  7. @BruceSallan Certainly livetweeting could be compiled into a blog post - so two birds, one stone. #blogchat
  8. @leeodden Do you try to literally 'live' blog an event, editing post as the event/session unfolds, or just get recap up ASAP? #blogchat
  9. @MackCollier I decide which approach beforehand. Sometimes it's a summary, sometimes tips, sometimes realtime articles #blogchat
  10. Identify specific sessions, topics, approach, "hook". What style:? transcription, running commentary, pure reaction, live article #blogchat
  11. @leeodden WOW! I am surprised that a lot of #blogchat participants here haven't heard of live-blogging, do you think tweeting has replaced?
  12. I like to pre-write portions of the post such as intro, speakers & other language that is fairly predictable. Use Evernote then WP #blogchat
  13. Identify specific sessions, topics, approach, "hook". What style:? transcription, running commentary, pure reaction, live article #blogchat
  14. @leeodden I prefer to live-tweet sessions, then use my tweets as notes to form my recap posts later when I get back home #blogchat
  15. @MackCollier That is interesting. I think Tweeting has actutally replaced liveblogging for many. Some do both. #blogchat
  16. @MackCollier It's a situation and style decision. Depends what I'm going after. Coverage, promotion, or fulfilling media req #blogchat
  17. Also recommend you have the right equipment for live blogging - charged laptop, camera or phone, backup internet source #blogchat
  18. @heidicohen @MackCollier Beauty is in the eye of the beholder there - if speakers suck, interview attendees #blogchat
  19. During Event Live Blogging: Site in front, take photos, smart speakers love "live bloggers" :) #blogchat
  20. @LoisMarketing I promote the hell out of the fact I'll be liveblogging :) Create suspense then make it easy to share. #blogchat
  21. Follow a format: Write everything (can be boring & impossible), choose best quotes, stats, highlights for a 10 tips post #blogchat
  22. @leeodden GREAT idea on interviewing attendees to get more info and perspective, I love that #blogchat
  23. If you're really good, you could have the post & image up before Q/A has finished. I only hit that 50% of the time. #blogchat
  24. @socialmeteor Seed questions beforehand (just in case) Moderator should have questions to ask too #blogchat
