I'm gearing up to do some live blogging at blogher and NCDD. At last year's blogher, someone said that live bloggers need to carry around a hip flask in their tool box! I also try to get several photos that capture the essence of what it was like to be in the room. At the end of the session, I will clean up my post and photos.

First, there was a lot of energy in the room, similar to the blogher , because a lot of people had been reading each other's blogs or posts on GV, but had never met face-to-face. It was very similar to the way the blogher opening plenary was facilitated. Angelo grabbed flickr photos that were uploaded in real-time to add to the blog.

While there are some obvious easy tools to get started with first, like Flickr, for example, you have to be ready to invest a little bit of time in some thoughtful experimentation. I interviewed Tuesday Gutierrez from SaveGuimaras over at blogher. I rely on photos sent to me by the filmmakers and some journalists on the field.
