Live 8 Live

Hi everybody -- just watching the Live 8 Concert live streams -- it's pretty cool, there's a ticker on top, which tells you who's on stage, where, at any given time. Makes it easy to flip between the different venues.

Live 8 is dedicated to eradicating global poverty by convincing the G8 leadership to cancel debt, increase aid and more.

Now, AOL is Live 8's online partner
(if you don't know that by now, I think someone's gonna get fired), so
we've been busy all week working to help promote it, raise awareness
and more.

In addition, there's a lot of blogging going on around Live 8; there are bloggers using AIM Blogs to cover the shows in six cities:

• Berlin
• London
• Paris
• Philadephia
• Rome
• Toronto  (This will be a post-show blog.)

There was a temporary downside,
though -- the Live 8 Concert blogs were getting a lot of high-level
promotion, which really taxed the servers, and caused a slowdown.

We should be better now.

Here's some more Live 8 blogs from around the Web:
Live 8 Insider, which is a pretty good group blog.
