    1 Pre Event Live Blogging: Answer why, who, what, when, where - Plan for specifics but be open to spontaneity #blogchat

    1 I like to create suspense: write a pre-event post, reach out to session speakers for tips, crowd source sessions to cover #blogchat

    Be open minded about what "event" means for live blogging. IRL conferences, workshops, press events, training. Online AND Off. #blogchat

    Liveblog virtual conferences, webinars, tele classes (where allowed). There's a ton of archived content - never been blogged. #blogchat

    @BruceSallan Certainly livetweeting could be compiled into a blog post - so two birds, one stone. #blogchat

    @leeodden Do you try to literally 'live' blog an event, editing post as the event/session unfolds, or just get recap up ASAP? #blogchat

    @MackCollier I decide which approach beforehand. Sometimes it's a summary, sometimes tips, sometimes realtime articles #blogchat

    Identify specific sessions, topics, approach, "hook". What style:? transcription, running commentary, pure reaction, live article #blogchat

    @leeodden WOW! I am surprised that a lot of #blogchat participants here haven't heard of live-blogging, do you think tweeting has replaced?

    I like to pre-write portions of the post such as intro, speakers & other language that is fairly predictable. Use Evernote then WP #blogchat

    @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

    Lee Odden@leeodden
    @MackCollier That is interesting. I think Tweeting has actutally replaced liveblogging for many. Some do both. #blogchat

    @MackCollier It's a situation and style decision. Depends what I'm going after. Coverage, promotion, or fulfilling media req #blogchat

    Also recommend you have the right equipment for live blogging - charged laptop, camera or phone, backup internet source #blogchat

    @heidicohen @MackCollier Beauty is in the eye of the beholder there - if speakers suck, interview attendees #blogchat

    During Event Live Blogging: Site in front, take photos, smart speakers love "live bloggers" :) #blogchat

    @LoisMarketing I promote the hell out of the fact I'll be liveblogging :) Create suspense then make it easy to share. #blogchat

    Follow a format: Write everything (can be boring & impossible), choose best quotes, stats, highlights for a 10 tips post #blogchat

    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

    @socialmeteor Seed questions beforehand (just in case) Moderator should have questions to ask too #blogchat
