Well you can visit John Chow’s blog for examples since he is covering all sorts of events on a regular basis. Personally, until my children take over the business I’m currently running, such events are out of the question due to lack of time

Hmm… Personally, “event blogging” sounds as if it might be fun, but since I have no experience in this area, I’ll stick with “topic-based blogging.” However, I would be interested in reading more about how to begin blogging about events, and seeing examples would help , too. There’s you an idea for a future post.

As far as I’m concerned, people who are not able to do it properly should stay away from live event blogging, since situations such as Gizmodo’s bad joke at the 2008 CES give other bloggers a bad name.

I haven’t needed to live-blog anything, so I can’t really answer your question, but I think this is a great article. With the increase in live video and/or mobile blogging, I think that live-blogging is really the new reporting. Understanding the basics at a broad level like this is very helpful.
