Gadget Monday: Blogging Equipment

Monday, September 8th, 2008

The thing about weblogs is that they’re supposed to be quick and easy to put together. A theory that’s compounded by the number of people who “blog” live events. That’s to say they attend an event and bring their computer with them and provide nearly real-time feedback on what they’re seeing.

That’s of course the idea, but it takes much more work than that to actually crank up the blogging machine. That’s why I liked this posting by WebWorkerDaily about what one contributor takes with her to do live blogging. Her list of hardware includes:

  • Computer
  • Good, capacious computer bag
  • Flip video camera (I’ve mentioned this before on my own weblog)
  • Digital recorder

The software, well, that’s another big list altogether, and fodder for a future post.

We’re still not sure which will be the most welcomed by the community, so I wanted to open up to you for your vote. In exchange, we’ll host a presentation on the same topic for no charge. You can post your thoughts by clicking the comments link here or by contacting me directly.
