#BlogChat 10.30.2011

Every Sunday at 8 p.m. central the blogging community comes together to chat for an hour. Tweets fly by in a blink of an eye and these are the top tweets that caught my attention. Tonight's topic was live blogging an event. #BlogChat

    @SocialScraps @Storify is a great tool for curating SM content either during or right after an event. #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

  13. And here are the tweets that caught my eye from #blogchat participants:
  14. RtMixMktg
    A great way to connect @leeodden: Reach out to speakers before event, ask them for 2-3 tactical tips. 4 speakers = 15 tips #blogchat

    #blogchat good content for live blogging an event would be to report award winners or quotes from speakers.

    RT @LoisMarketing Live blogging is creating impromptu post -- something complete and of value, an article. Not a tweet. #blogchat
