Birmingham’s Broadcast And Blog Double

Live blogging and video streaming were the platforms of choice for the Birmingham Post when covering a recent debate.

Visitors to the Post online could follow the digital discussion event via a live video stream on Bambuser and also had the option to participate by posting questions to the live blog.

And twitterers were not left out of the debate as the Post tracked tweets containing #bigdebate within them via search application Summize and then displayed a selection within the live blog.

Entitled Digital Revolution: More Power or Powerless?, the Big Debate’s participants included BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones, BT project director Doug Williams and the Post’s media and marketing editor Joanna Geary.

More information on the event can be found in this Post article, while Stef Lewandowski and Nick Booth have posted critiques of the debate on their blogs.
