It was a shame gdgt probably never caught on as much as it could have. They consistently had the best live coverage of events, which was the only time I visited their site, unfortunately.
- beaumartinez 14y agoI didn't even know they covered events—I go there simply for quick product reviews
- jonursenbach 14y agoYeah we only covered the occasional Apple event over at our live blog: http://live.gdgt.com http://live.gdgt.com
- kmfrk 14y agoBut you killed it every time - especially the times where The Verge and Engadget used liveblogging platforms that crapped out on them. :) Thanks for your coverage. Hope I won't have to follow my Apple keynotes without them. Then again, it looks like Apple are moving towards livestreaming them, which would require blogs to adjust the way they liveblog the events. What are you guys going to do at this point? We're in short supply of good tech writing.
- jonursenbach 14y agoThanks! It's still really early, so I'm not really sure what's going on and if Ryan still wants to do them or not. I don't know about any other sites that run liveblogs, but the residual traffic never really made up for the massive amount of engineering and ops work that needs to go into the events so I'm not sure. They sure are a hell of a lot of fun though.
- smackfu 14y agoYeah, it was odd. They did great news coverage of live events... it did a good job of driving me to their site to look for news coverage. But the site has no other news coverage.
