Election and new media

What election coverage did you see online Tuesday night that was particularly innovative?

The Northern Star sent three people to the Obama rally and they sent back Twitter updates all night via cell phone texting. It's given us a blueprint of how to do this for other big events (including sports). We also had two columnists, one on the left and one on the right, live-blogging all evening here and here. When spontaneous celebrations broke out all over campus, we had students shoot video that was posted to our site soon thereafter.

What did others do that worked?
