Liveblogging forced me to listen more carefully to the presenters and the conversations that took place. I found myself paying even more attention to the temperature in the room--were people engaging with the presenters, did the presentations seem to resonate, what were their questions?

Yet, in much of my social media consulting work corporate blog owners are invariably most interested in total visits and RSS subscribers. This is especially misplaced with group written blogs, where the broad content focus and inconsistent tonality makes RSS subscription less likely. Jury's still out.
