It was interesting to see in action. I should just sign up and give it a test run myself to see how it all works, including the stats and edit contents available once the live blog has finished. Are they the same stats that were available to you during the live blog, or are they a bit more in-depth? I also like the fact that the live session remains saved, allowing people to come back at any time, to wherever it was embedded, and see everything that was said. If they want to. Okay, just signed up to have a closer look. Thanks James. It was interesting to see in action.

Would have been better if I actually had an event to blog about, but it has potential. I haven't really investigated live blogging in-depth too far, but Cover It Live seems to be one of the few options that actually exist. I actually learned about it because Leo Laporte has started using it on This Week in Tech. By the way, Dave, if you are out there, you can edit the contents of the live blogging session after it has ended. If you visit the Cover It Live website and go to the "completed live blogs" or similar, there is an option to view statistics and edit the contents. Pretty cool stuff. I thought it was fun.

I've seen Mark from Mashable use Cover It Live before so it must be one of the better solutions out their. However, looks like there is still work to be done on the software.

There were a few quirks, but overall, I think it went quite well. You can check out the entire conversation above. I believe I might use this service again in the future. Pretty awesome stuff. Thanks to those of you who checked it out. EDIT: BTW, 127 people viewed the live blog. The live blogging session went well.

I have not tested this plugin. I am not sure of its functionality, and I am probably not going to install it because I have other solutions for creating/editing my blog posts; however, it might be something to look into if you are a Google Docs user. <a href="http://broken-watch.info/?p=42">Inline Google Docs</a> If you are using WordPress, I just came across a plugin which allows you to embed content from Google Docs.

I'll talk about something for a few hours. I'll try and make it useful. Oh, and a few reasons why you might want to consider using your CMS (like WordPress) for live blogging is that Cover It Live has had some reliability issues in the past. If Cover It Live goes down, your live blogging session could be in jeopardy. Also, Cover It Live is likely to integrate pay-for services in the future. This is one way for the company to make money. It is something to keep in mind. It is mostly a question of convenience to your readers. If you don't want them to have to reload the page, use Cover It Live. If you don't mind, you might be better off just using your current method of posting content. Anyways, let me know what events you have blogged live. Let me know what you think about live blogging in general. I’ll begin the live blogging session tomorrow around 1:00 PM. I’ll talk about something for a few hours. I’ll try and make it useful.
