Thanks Dave! Yeah while I love using CoverItLive for live blogging, somehow the limitation of 140 characters and immediacy of Twitter makes this better. Now, if CIL could do a combo so I could post to the post AND to twitter at the same time. Now that would be killer.

wow Tris, incredible way to bring the event to the collective stream on consciousness who weren’t in the room. your candid photos and real-time reaction adds a real immediacy to the coverage.

"...but the page they give you to look at later gives you the tweets in the right order." Ah, thanks, Tris - that makes sense. Hmm, sounds like a useful service. Maybe I'll brave a try at it -- although my mobile capabilities are *so* limited at this point, it might not make sense yet. We were supposed to have an arts debate for mayoral candidates (entire CRD region, too), but it was canceled. Maybe the financial downturn is making everyone freak and say, "to hell with the arts"? Hope not! Yule Heibel´s last blog post..DV2020 nails candidate questions

Thanks Yule. Tonight I decided to skip the debate … When I use LiveTwitting the tweets show up in my twitter stream as normal, but the page they give you to look at later gives you the tweets in the right order.

The way it works is to follow livetwitting then start and stop with DMs. The instructions seem a wee hard, but really aren’t.

Great set, Tris, and as I responded via Twitter, I thought the live-tweeting was really useful.

My question is still around how livetwitting (http://livetwitting.com/) works. I don’t see updates from you on Twitter tonight, but I’m guessing you’re at the debate/ meeting tonight? …Livetweeting or not? If you use Live Twitting and the tweets are shown in the “correct” chonological order (start to finish, vs Twitter-order, which is reverse chronological), do they show up as tweets in your stream, or do I have to go somewhere else to see them?

The reverse chronological order is a bit annoying, so if Live Twitting “fixes” that, great. Just not sure how it actually interfaces with Twitter, though…

Thanks for this and for the live tweeting. I think the coverage was great. Having liveblogged a number of events, I think you did a great job! Raul´s last blog post..Events this weekend (Oct 24-25, 2008)
