For me this was the first conference blogged for many people in real time, so I had to discover my way of doing it. A couple of times before I was the one blogging and I did it mainly in reporting style. I started the same way blogging BlogTalk, but I was also adding links to other bloggers.
Very soon I realised that this was a bit stupid: blogging by 2-3 people is enough to provide quite good summary of what is going on (presentations and papers are on-line too, so if someone is not happy with summaries there is always something better). Next to it we went into discussing “don’t blog me – I’m real” issue, so I also didn’t feel like blogging.
I also found that during this conference I was even more lazy. It was not only “why reporting if there are others doing it”, but also “why making photos if many others make them almost real time with their digital cameras”.
