I choose option B. I can see the value of live blogging for things that are really time-critical. And even then, with care... From a different point of view, I'm not a big fan of live blogging for other uses, and I just wrote a post that indirectly addresses the whole balance between the quick and easy connection appeal of social media and the importance of bona fide and mindful connections with real live people :) I tried it for the debates, and it was fun for a lark, but it reminded me too much of old AOL chatrooms with a lot of poseur quipping...so not my thing. I like to be entertained but it just gets annoying. I started to long for comments with real substance and thought. I REALLY don't like it at conferences. People liveblog during the podcast conferences I go to, but to me, it just seems slightly rude. Like they're not really paying full attention to the speaker, or they're slightly checked out. Or when it's used for Q&A, like they did at Interact and not everyone had access to it and the roll of tweets (some self-promoting ones, too) was distracting from the presentation on stage.

I wish I had been able to read it before I tried to live blog earlier today. I will say this though, to me live blogging is not as easy as it looks (http://tinyurl.com/3oqf4t).

Would it be possible for them to establish a type of chat room forum so users can get involved too besides just adding comments? Or does that defeat the entire purpose of the blog?
