Business Week’s “Where to Get Live Election Night Coverage Online“:

If you’re looking for election night coverage by and for people like you, there are plenty of sites to turn to. The left-leaning blog Talking Points Memo, for instance, has really thrived this election season, raking in a record 16.3 million YouTube video views in September.

For its election night coverage, the site will be live-streaming (most likely using the cell phone-based service Qik from Obama’s Chicago headquarters) and providing live election results via a map created in partnership with Google (GOOG). It will also be live-blogging and posting TV news clips it records off network TV.
