CoverItLive is a new for service for bloggers(professional and non-professionals) for covering events in real time, or “liveblogging.” It’s a useful tool for people covering major industry events, speeches, sports, and the like. Many professional bloggers and blogging companies do use it including long zhen of www.istartedsomething.com, www.mashable.com etc.
Live blogging is a new directive to cover each inch of the with capabilities of video, widget, news feeds etc etc all in real time.CoverItLive’s design and features are, basically, awesome. There are some issues that might give big publishers slight pause, but the product is off to a great start.
The CoverItLive authoring window is an awful lot like an IM client.
CoverItLive is a FREE service, and once you’ve done so you can either jump straight into liveblogging or schedule upcoming events. Liveblog content is all hosted on CoverItLive, and you put it on your blog by pasting in a small snippet of HTML code on to your side.
It has a easy-to-use IM-like text-entry window, including the capability to take comments from readers and post the ones you like in your stream; live polls; and the option to post either canned or new pictures and videos. CoverItLive also provides publishers with statistics on their live viewership, which helps to do analytics for the publisher.
CoverItLive converts the blog into a static block of text, Pictures and polls that were pop-ups during the live event are inserted at the correct locations in the timeline, after the event is over.
I like coveritlive, alot and well experiencing live blogging is fun
