Do You Have a Problem with Live Blogging?
Chris Crum | Staff Writer
Apparently Some People Do
Barry Schwartz posted something of a rant at Search Engine
Roundtable after an unnamed blogger attacked the site's live
blogging coverage of PubCon:
This guy calls live blogging, "useless" and "inaccurate." He goes
on to say what we do is "selfish disregard for reporting
integrity." To call live blogging "selfish," oh, that makes me
mad. To call the 38+ conferences we've flown to, paid hotel costs,
sometimes paid conference passes for, "selfish." To call the
dumbing, incredibly tiring and exhausting work it is to sit there,
session after session, to write down the words that come out of
speakers mouths, no matter if you disagree with them or if you
find them boring - or, even worse, love what they are saying, but
are too consumed in typing down what they are saying to have the
time to actually appreciate the words of wisdom - to call that
"selfish" (long sentence, sorry, been up for over 24 hours).
Like most forms of media, live blogging has its advantages and
disadvantages, and Barry Acknowledges that. While he may have
gotten a little more fired up about the criticism of a relatively
new-to-the-game blogger than necessary, his rant does bring up a
good subject of debate. Is live blogging worth it? Is it worth it
to readers? Is it worth it to live bloggers? Is it a legitimate
way to report?
Are you responsible for generating demand for your product/service?
How are you accomplishing this online?
Business Blogging is a fantastic way to get found online and
generate qualified prospects for your business.
People want information, and they want it as soon as possible.
Live blogging achieves this. Errors occur, but they do so in other
formats as well. And when you're reading the product of live
blogging, you should take this into consideration anyway.
Search Engine Roundtable has been live blogging conferences for
years. We were doing it a long time ago too, and we still live
blog some stories from time to time, like the recent Google
conference call. I don't recall getting many complaints, and I'm
quite sure that many people have enjoyed this kind of coverage
over the years. What do you think about live blogging?
