CNN X-Prize Blog

For any of you following the $10,000,000 X-Prize attempt by SpaceShipOne, there is a CNN reporter on site maintaining a blog via his blackberry PDA. The blog is available here. While this type of news format lacks a lot of the on topical detail you would find in a typical news article, and the content is being pushed out by a reporter's thumbs, I find the blog to be successful in immersing the reader in the event taking place. By knowing stupid details about press breakfasts and other mundane details, one gets the feeling like they are actually there, participating in a historical event. Score another one for the bloggers.
