Earlier in the year, Scott and I live blogged from the server side symposium. I’m going to try to do the same from here at web 2.0 expo. The big differences is I only paid for the keynotes. While I will go to some sponsored sessions i’ll only blog about those if there is non-commercial type content. The other big difference is that it is dark at the keynotes and I am typing on my lap. Will see how that goes.
As with last time, I am typing on my ipad and will edit for typos/add formattimg from my real computer later.
Anyway, tonight is Ignite. I’ve never tried live blogging at ignite. I have tweeted during it though so worst case is this blog post is a bunch of one liners. And if you’ve never attended an ignite you need to! 15 second slides for 5 minutes; what a pace.
I already learned something. I should have decided i was going to attempt live blogging at home and entered the speaker names and titles then.
