Live Blogs

For liveblogging, using a static story post and then posting comments is not very effective. This isn't a chat atmosphere at all, and it's not conducive to conversation. I humbly suggest you find a service that works better! I am independent in the matter, but I've used the free service from CoverItLive before, and found it to be very effective. We run liveblogs simultaneously with our evening newscasts every day at WIBW. It's really worth a look.

I'm going to go check that out later today, but since I'm lazy and in the middle of the Betts blog, let me ask you this - what are the downsides to CoverItLive? Will it create a linkable transcript of the event such as the format we're using now?

How plug and play is it and will it work well within Drupal, which is the content management system we use?

Oh, and thanks

Oh, and thanks for the advice. We are always looking for a way to make these live blogs better and we will definitely look into this if its' going to be a better user experience.
