Reflecting on Using Cover It Live for Live Lectures

I haven't had much time to think about live blogging as a tool for presenting information. That might take some time. When will it be best to use text, image, audio, video and so on?

But i do like the instant recording and replay functions of live bloging and the ease with which guests can take part through polls and instant messaging. This really does encourage participation and engagement with the lecture content. I have quite enjoyed using this format and I wonder how participation can be increased even further. Are there any other tools that could be run alongside the live blog or ways of allowing the audience to contribute more content? For me it involved quite a lot of preparation in terms of writing the lecture and putting it into Cover It Live mode, but so far I am encouraged by the results
