How this works
For those not familiar with live blogging, it's simply a way for people online to meet in real time as an event happens and to discuss what's taking place. I've done many such events and my (snarky) transcripts had developed a following over at Daily Kos and Booman Tribune. I try to keep up with the testimony as it happens and use my 3 typing fingers to inform my audience of what is being said - for those unable to view or hear the proceedings live (the cubicle dwellers among us).
I would appreciate knowing if anyone plans to pop by to watch or join in, so I can get an idea of whether or not I'll be alone tomorrow morning! If you're planning on being here, please leave a comment here now or e-mail me to let me know. Thanks!
