Nuit Blanche 2010: Nuit Narrating and Navigating

It's the 5th Annual Scotiabank Nuit Blanche tonight, with Toronto awash in public art and people from 7pm Saturday until 7am Sunday. As I have done for the 3 previous Nuit Blanche events, I'll be out and about. What's new this year is that I've been selected by the City of Toronto to be one of their Nuit Narrators, providing live updates, tweets, photos and commentary throughout the night. I'm one of 10 narrators, with all our content pulled up under the dedicated Nuit Narrator stream.

To follow the Nuit Narrator stream, either while you're on the streets or from home, go to:

http://www.scotiabanknuitblanche.ca/share

and my content will be streaming through the Nuit Narrators section.

I'll also be tweeting all night http://twitter.com/the2scoops so come check it out.



SHARING

You can be a part of the action to with the Nuit Nation stream. This is the moderated stream where the public provides the content from various avenues:

TWEET: use #snbTO (other Nuit events are happening around the world, so this is the hashtag to identify the Toronto event) and the tweet will enter the moderated stream

EMAIL: send messages and photos to share@scribblelive.com

LINK: share directly at http://www.scotiabanknuitblanche.ca/share

UPLOAD: send photos through the Night Navigator app

Four ways to follow:

Night Navigator App

I'm looking forward to using the terrific Night Navigator app on my iPhone tonight. It's a wonderful tool to enhance your night:

• Scan complete project details and public transit routes
• Locate the most active and closest projects
• Recommend your favourites with a "thumbs up"
• Find out which projects are creating a buzz
• Share Your Night and send real-time photos and comments
• View the photo gallery submissions
• Access My Night, your personal itinerary planner
• Vote for Scotiabank People's Choice and enter to win an iPad or pre-paid Visa card
  

Makes you with some other big Toronto events that have you running all over would get something like this. (Toronto International Film Festival, I'm looking at you.)
