For the last couple weeks I have been live blogging here – but not in the traditional sense of being at an event and blogging about it in real time. I am talking about blogging in real time – writing, discussion, comments, everything. Let’s call it Real-Time Blogging so as not to get confused.
Why? Aside from real-time being the craze, live blogging in this manner creates a discussion around a topic rather than just writing something and leaving it for the Google robot and the long tail. I am an avid comment replier – If you comment on this blog you are likely to get a response within an hour, unless its the middle of the night. By blogging in real time I am able to re-purpose those comments into my post – making it that much better. I like to create conversations and discussions, not blog posts. I don’t want to write about something, I want to discuss topics to solve problems and develop new ideas. This method of real time blogging facilitates that.
