With NARdi Gras kicking off tomorrow, NAR has gone all out to support Bloggers this year in New Orleans. So far they seem to have responded.
Dustin Luther, Rain City Guide Godfather has unveiled a new blog over at Move.com where he’ll be liveblogging NARdi Gras.
Paul Chaney from Blogging Systems is liveblogging as well. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on both of these blogs over the coming days.
As we did for the earlier Inman Connect SF conference, I’d suggest any of the bloggers attending the event tag their posts on Technorati with the tag nardigras so we can begin to aggregate coverage of the event for all of us non-attendees. Similarly, I’d suggest any companies making announcements down in New Orleans also tag their announcements with this same tag as well.
Paul has also started uploading some photos from the conference to flickr and has tagged them with the tag nardigras (RSS). It would be great if others did likewise.
Finally, I’ve put together a FeedRaider Aggregator page that pulls all of these feeds together and presents them on a single page for you to digest. As with all FeedRaider sites, you can keep on top of the developments either as a single deck or as a chronological river of news.
NAR really should have done something this themselves – but I guess there’s always next year. While they’ve made great strides accommodating bloggers on site this year, they should be just as accommodating to those of us following developments from afar.
