Me, too. Especially because UStream now appears to only accept text comments from a limited number of account types (Facebook, Hotmail, and 2 others I don't think I have, though maybe my Yahoo groups id would have worked). I never did find anyone posting commentary on the UStream site as we've been able to do in the past. Even if that still worked, I think the CoverItLive approach is valuable -- more valuable than the UStream coverage, which I adored. Having the text is key support to the verbal announcement, and you did a splendid job with the timing, posting them as the last nominee was announced in each category. UStream can have weird delays, not to mention the blasted ad break, which hits different viewers at different times.
Yes, many thanks to Chicon 7 for funding CoverItLive.
I was also delighted to see later on TheHugoAwards.org site that Vincent Villefranca is the Hugo base designer this year. He does exquisite work and I look forward to seeing his Hugo Award base design.
