Great advice. Here's another tip. Announce to your followers that you will be live-tweeting an event and that if they're not interested in the topic, they can put you on "snooze" temporarily so their Twitter stream won't be flooded by your live tweets. See http://twittersnooze.com allows you to "mute" a person from 1 to 30 days without unfollowing them.

Yes, that's another great tip. Thanks Connie!

Do you think Twitter will ever provide options for rearranging information (you know, the way you can just click a button in Outlook and find your most recent or your least recent emails?). I find many people are disconcerted by having to read from bottom to top, and when people aren't using hashtags, the easiest way to follow the live Tweets of event coverage is to look just at the person Tweeting's messages so you don't have to filter out the Tweets from everyone else you're following.

Beyond setting up a separate live tweeting account, you can always tweet a link to a search for your live tweets (www.search.twitter) from your regular Twitter account. That way you don't inundate regular followers with all the live tweets, but they're at least aware of the opportunity to link to what you have to share from the event.
