WWDC 2006 Keynote: To Chatcast or not to Chatcast

Alright, folks, as you know we will be offering a straightforward play by play of Steve's keynote today, but there is a TUAW tradition that I haven't mentioned yet: the infamous TUAW Chatcast!

It is traditional for the TUAW bloggers to get together in a chat room and talk about the announcements as they happen, we then post that chat transcript for all to see (examples here and here). This gives a nice counterpoint to the more organized presentation that we will also be doing.

What say you, readers, should we continue this fine tradition? Sound off in the comments, and remember that bloggers have feelings too.

Of course they're going to chatcast. Haven't you noticed Mr. McNulty just likes to see a lot of comments on his posts? ; )

Nah, you guys are just unconnected bloggers. You have no particular insight beyond me and the rest of the great unwashed.

Oh, and for those who may think the chatcast is the only way for a dialup-ridden or network-heavy user to get the news: TUAW linked to the excellent http://www.macrumorslive.com/web/ earlier, and it uses Ajax to pull in only the newest updates, rather than refresh the entire page. You won't miss anything by more than a few seconds, and it'll be far more organized.
