Coveritlive - Live Blogging In Action!

[angelique]

I've come across a brilliant tool for live reporting on your blog. You can upload videos and photos but this tool's absolute greatest feature is that it allows you to live blog your written texts. See it in action here and please leave your comments! Also check back tomorrow for my new 'show'. This is going to be a full blown box office success no matter what!

Hello there,
Thanks for your comment. Your newsroom will simply have to be interested. Coveritlive.com is awesome and perfect for reporting live events. Deadlines can be beaten in interesting ways. Newsweek already uses it as do various other impressives. This tool could pave the way for all kinds of live reporting spectacles embedded in regular newspaper articles. I tried it for the second time today and discovered that you can just leave it open for hours on end. That way visitors will see your work mid progress. I think that's sort of cool too, so it's not only effective for live events but also to get into direct contact with site visitors. PLUS you can go back after you've 'signed off' and edit stuff. It's totally cool.

Yeah I just tried it myself and I have to say - WOW. I love it. I'm going to do my best to get the newsroom involved. I think it would be perfect for the sports we cover.
