In doing my work, I generate a lot of thoughts, questions, ideas, that I would like to share. Given the tools that existed before liveblogging, most of those ideas would go to waste. Too big to fit in a tweet, too small to be a blog post, I don't want to waste it on Facebook (too hard to find, Google is still a much better search engine). "Out here" I have lots of ways to remember things I want to come back to later. My favorite is to use my linkblog, which also shares the link on Facebook and Twitter. The memory of the linkblog goes back a few months, which is usually enough.

I've invited Doc in, hoping that we would together develop the correlative side of liveblogging. And I've already got some of my Facebook friends contributing, though on their terms, in Facebook comments and posts. For now, I am happy to do the transcribing. As I did with the seed list for podcatch. First you do something manually, then you pave the cowpaths for the process that people gravitate to.

Last night I did a demo for Brandon Diamond, a friend who works at Facebook, and the demo gave me a ton of ideas. Maybe it will be with him that collaborative writing in Liveblog becomes a thing. He asked about shared outlines. Yes, I do believe in them, by gluing pieces of our worlds together. This is something Ward Cunningham is working on too in Federated Wiki.

Lots of smart people gravitating in a space where wikis, blogs, feeds and outlines took root.
