I hate liveblogging major events. It's hard. It's painfully frustrating, and lifespan-limitingly stressful. I also absolutely love it, and it's one of my favorite parts of this job. It's something that, from a technical stand point, was next to impossible to accomplish just years ago. It lets us transport our readers from their offices and living rooms to a spot right beside us in the packed auditorium, an experience that post-event recaps and standard news posts just can't provide. Our liveblog of Apple's iPad 2 event on Wednesday went well; in fact, the response was probably the most unanimously positive one I've seen to anything I've ever done here. We've received thousands of e-mails, tweets, and comments about it, many of which asked how it all works and what it's like to do. Rather than respond to each one individually, I've put together this post. It is, as best as I can convey, a look at things from the other side.
