Since I started going to Lotusphere I have live blogged quite a few sessions and keynotes. It is a great way to take notes during the sessions and also helps people who may have attended other sessions at the same time and even people who can't make it to Lotusphere.
For the first few years of Live Blogging I just used Blogsphere, I would write my entry and as I'd write stuff down I'd hit the save button to publish it to my blog. Last year I discovered CoverItLive, an external live blogging tool that you could embed on any webpage, and one of the features allowed you to have multiple authors in the Live Blog, I asked around and ended up with a great team of writers for the Opening General Session live blog. It was so good that we have gotten the same team back together again this years for the OSG.
Since last year CoverItLive has added a new 'groups' feature. This feature allows us to create a group of live blogs and display them in a single interface embedded on any site. You'll be able to go to a single place to see which members of the group are currently running live blogs and also be able to review all the finished blogs.
If you are thinking of doing any Live Blogging at Lotusphere this year and you want to use CoverItLive then please send me an IM or email me your CoverItLive username and I can add you to the special Lotusphere Group. Your live blogs will then appear embedded on your own blog and also on the special http://live.lotusphereblog.com website. CoverItLive is really easy to use and best of all it is FREE.
