Lofty Bloggers?
The print edition of the USA Today article has a great photo of the convention bloggers blogging from the up in the rafters, which makes one hope that none of them suffers from a fear of heights, as they are seated way, way, way up and at a great distance back from the main action taking place down on the floor.
Let’s put it this way, those of us who have to watch it via television are a whole lot closer to the convention floor and main stage action than those lofty bloggers are, at least by way of viewing anyway.
It is a good thing there are the big screens for them to watch it on, though I wonder if how the sound is up there and if it is more like an echo chamber or whatever.
Yet I would not be surprised at all if some of these lofty convention bloggers resign themselves to their nice hotel rooms (where it is more comfortable, quieter and much more private so one can actually think and focus), especially when the convention center WiFi is not working so well or they are tired or some other reason (excuse) and end up watching it in on T.V. (where the view is much better of course) like the rest of us and blog it from there. If so, then once might wonder what the point of it all is, huh?!
It is just a thought, which makes me even more glad to not be anywhere near Bawstun or the convention: i.e, no closer than what the T.V. may allow me to be anyway.
