Live Blogging: The Wave of the Future?

Posted by Andrew G.R. as Opinion

We’ve talked about the ways to edit your work, but what if bloggers were forced to blog live? Lacking the excitement of a live sporting event or reality show, live blogging could be the wave of the future.

Think about it: What if you had to create a post and were not given a chance to re-write your thoughts? No spell check. No copy editing. Etc.

Would the end result be something no one wants to read – or would people flock to a Website where bloggers have to be on top of their game? Blemishes would surely be exposed, but readers would also get a deeper, “less filtered” look at the author, potentially forging a tighter relationships.

One of the main problems with the concept is that how would we know the blogger is truly live blogging? Short of a screen shot video that shows a document as you type, I’m not sure how this could be accomplished.

Something about the concept excites me.Â At the very least, it could help differentiate your blog from a crowded field.Â Thoughts?

Considering how much ridicule I undergo every time I correct someone’s grammar or bother to use proper format in an e-mail, I doubt that the vast majority of bloggers would get by without making themselves look like damned fools within the first 10 minutes.
