Note to Barack Obama and attendees at the Democratic National Convention this week in Denver: be careful – very careful – what you do in Denver this week. Unlike, say, Las Vegas, what you say and do in Denver will not stay in the Mile High city. More likely, what you say or do will be on YouTube in a matter of minutes, embarrassing or not.

Ditto for Republican convention attendees in Minneapolis beginning Sept. 1.

While both conventions will be tightly choreographed for television purposes, bloggers will be swarming both cities, jamming press conferences and breathlessly reporting on the more than 90 parties and receptions a day scheduled for the convention crowd.

With the heavily promoted support of Google, bloggers in Denver will have access to an 8,000-square-foot "big tent" outside of the convention site featuring kiosks for almost instant uploading of videos to YouTube. Twitters will be falling from the sky. In addition there will be too many Webcasts to count, flurries of text messaging and Sirius XM radio will carry live audio coverage of doings on the convention floor.
