I’ve been liveblogging for over 2 years now and it’s something I also do professionally (shameless plug yes, you too can hire me to liveblog your event! end shameless plug). As such, when the Canucks Fan Zone asked their trusted group of bloggers, podcasters, app makers and content creators to moderate some Canucks-sanctioned liveblogs, I [...]

December 4th, 2008 at 4:15pm you will be able to head to the official Canucks website to catch a live blog of the Vancouver vs Detroit game.
The Fan Zone will be hosting several live blogs throughout the season and I’ll be the first moderator tomorrow, using the Cover it Live system.
I’ve reviewed Cover it [...]

I am currently in a ballroom of the Renaissance Hotel on West Hastings street to hear a talk from the Vancouver Board of Trade about “communicating via social media” in the non-profit sector in a series called Tough Talk for Tender Causes.
If it seems slightly foreign for an entity such as the Board of [...]

There are 15 speakers in the room this evening for Interesting Vancouver at the Vancouver Rowing Club, all from diverse and unique backgrounds and each with something interesting to say. I’m sitting here looking up at the Rowing Club’s Roll of Honor for men who gave their lives for their country in from 1914-1918.

Since I have done about 15 live blogs in the last week or so I’m not going to be liveblogging today’s sessions. However, I will be updating this post throughout the day with a day blog in order to take notes, jot down links, and share photos.
10:00am: Right now we’re just doing the schedule jam [...]

The gallery is actually a car dealership (talk about fusion) with white leather couches, ambient music, and cars so shiny you [...]

I’m interested in hearing the discussion in the following session, “How to Deal with Trolls, Spammers & Sock Puppets“, with Rick Calvert (CEO and Co-Founder of BlogWorld & New Media Expo), John Chow, Patrick O’Keefe (founder and owner of the iFroggy Network), and Jeremy Schoemaker of Shoemoney.

I’m familiar with trolls and spammers although I left [...]

The past two days have gone by quickly here at Blog World in Las Vegas. I’ll have a more reflective post up during my layover in Phoenix later in the day since there’s still quite a full schedule of sessions for today.
This morning’s keynote will feature Rohit Bhargava, Timothy Ferriss (from 4 Hour Work Week), [...]

After banishing myself to the back of the room, since this is the only place I can plug in to power my MacBook, I’m all setup again for the “Bloggers and PR” session with Chris Brogan, Michael Clark, Jason Falls, and Brian Solis.
Update: It’s been announced that the Twitter hashtag for this session is [...]

There are currently 10 sessions going on at once as well as the tradeshow. I may need to clone myself about 4 times over in order to cover everything - although I’m not even going to try. I am interested, however, in the Citizen Journalism track so the next two live blogs will be on [...]
