Live Blogging- A Recap

Friday was our in class live-blogging assessment. All I can say is WOW. I like to think that I'm a fast typer but even I felt totally overwhelmed by the piece. By the end I had cramping hands and a tired head but I thoroughly enjoyed the exercise. 

I think there is a great place for live blogs in today's journalism world. Today Cory Bernardi quit his position in the Liberal National Party. I was once again amazed at the speed at which I received this information. Brisbanetimes.com.au tweeted updates from the conference which I found massively informative. 

Even as a Gen Y who has grown up with the internet, this still amazes me. I'm so excited for what is still to come in the world of online journalism.
