Canadian Leadership Debate Liveblogging Round-up

By Jonathan + October 3rd, 2008

Last night there was all sorts of liveblogging of the Canadian Leadership Debate in English on ScribbleLive. We had over 5,400 posts from dozens of authors last night, and it was great to see our Wordpress crossposting feature being used all over the place.

The Canadian University Press definitely gets the award for the most people in a single thread liveblogging ever. When the main writer, Carl, lost his wifi connection, the commenters continued to liveblog the event (and drink beer according to their posts) ;) Carl eventually got back online and posted some photos of the event.

For the second night in a row, Maclean’s was liveblogging the debate too. They were using crossposting to send all their updates to their Wordpress.com blog. Looks like all the buzz around their liveblog made them #12 in the Top Blogs today. Congrats, guys!

We had another few great blogs using our embed feature to liveblog including the Western Standard Blog and THIS Magazine.

Great job covering the debate everyone! It was hilarious to watch all your commentary. Please join us again on ScribbleLive for all your wacky, obsessive, liveblogging needs each and every debate…or anything else that’s fun to liveblog ;)
