Trendsetters?

Do you know of any other example of an event that utilised live blogging, twittering, YouTube and Flickr? Perhaps, just perhaps, we are making history now. Can you prove us wrong? If so, we’d like to know.

    In 1996 I did a live video, web (image and “blog” postings) transmission of a rave… does that count as prior art?*

    * At least I think I did - the 90s were so long ago. As was 9am this morning…

    For sure, that was so web 1.0 innovation!

    In 1994 I did a live webcam stream (the first in NZ?) featuring bluebear in some compromising positions, whilst at the same time posting HTML/GIFs to my website (Global Groove) and starting an online UFO conspiracy - does that count?

    Well, used Twitter to do a live event update and a Competition thingo at the first ever STUB (Sydney Twitter Underground Brigade) meetup. Nick Hodge, Professional Geek at Microsoft gave away a cool prize for twittering something about him that is v.random.
