Expanding uses for CoverItLive

While I was a CoverItLive skeptic, I was totally won over at DEMO.  Rafe Needleman is taking CoverItLive to another level with a weekly live blogging “ask the editor” chat:

Ask the Editors is a live text show. You ask, and I answer (or fake it). Tune in on Thursday to ask me about Web applications. I’ll field how-to questions, make product suggestions, discuss new business models, anything. In the course of my too-long technology journalism career, I have reviewed and used more products than I can count. I have interviewed more than 1,000 start-up CEOs and evaluated their business prospects. One could say that I have some perspective.

I was thinking about how to use CoverItLive in more innovative ways.  I really like what Rafe is doing.  Lots of potential there.  Talk about a great way to do a roundtable or augment a live interview … yeah.  Hey if you’d like, I’d be happy to host a weekly session here too … but you know I don’t want to just be typing here by myself.

And don’t forget, Rebecca “Miss604″ Bollwitt will be live blogging DemoCampVancouver05 tonight … I don’t know if my kids will let me focus on the computer, but I will certainly try.  Of course I’ll be able to read back when she’s done too.

Now if they get that AIR app written …
