I’ll be covering Microsoft Teched North America 2011 from the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA next week. Look for a combination of live posts and session summaries. As in the past, I am going to try to use Coveritlive.com as much as possible.

I’m starting to get the hang of using Cover It Live (CiL) at a conference. I’m still working out whether using an iPhone/iTouch/iPad/Blackberry/Browser is the best way to update when mobile. I added some 30 second audio clips from @johnobeto, @cxi, @vmdoug, and myself in yesterday’s CiL session. Did you notice? I also pulled in some of @vmdoug’s Qik videos captured from his new HTC EVO.

Here’s my favorite Qik video from yesterday

I’ll probably do more of the same stuff throughout day 2 of TechEd 2010.

NEWSFLASH: For special and  in depth conference coverage I am adding @HyperVBear to the stream of auto tweets. I suggest we all follow him closely for the rest of the week

You can replay yesterday’s CiL session here.

Once again I am using Cover It Live to collect my Monday #teched tweets as well as make occasional live comments from the Veeam booth while at Microsoft TechEd 2010. I am also adding several people’s tweets to the stream who I know are at the conference. Those Included:

As I meet more people and figure out who’s here I will add to this list.

Leave me a comment with twitter names of who else I should include, or leave your own twittername if you are in New Orleans and want your #teched hash tag tweets included too!

I’m headed to New Orleans, LA for Microsoft TechEd 2010 the first half of the week. I’m there to work the Veeam booth and help show how companies can manage VMware infrastructure with Microsoft Systems Center Operations Manager using the nworks Management Pack. I’m not sure whether I’ll get to attend the keynotes or any sessions, but I’ll do my best to cover the virtualization news and Cloud buzz in the Ernest N Morial Convention Center as I experience it.

I’ve decided to use Cover It Live to hopefully help me provide more real time, live and mobile coverage as the conference unfolds. The embedded event player at the end of this post will be collecting all my tweets (@rbrambley) as I travel today when I include the #teched hashtag. I’ll log into the event broadcast console from time to time too. I’ll be sure to announce/tweet when I’m live so join me by adding comments and live interaction during those times.

I previously used Cover it Live to live blog from HP’s Blade Day Event in Houston, TX. I really like that all the tweets, comments, and coverage are recorded for full playback in the future (see the results at the link provided).

I’m still learning how to take full advantage of Cover It Live when covering an event, so thanks Microsoft for allowing me to practice so more with TechEd 2010, and, of course, thanks Veeam for sending me to New Orleans!
