CoverItLive is ideal for anything from live-blogging a sports event to moderating an online panel discussion.
Here’s a tool that’s starting to pop up all over the place lately. CoveritLive is a sort of hybrid between a chat room and a blog. It’s often being called live-blogging.
CoveritLive (and similar services) is often used for sporting events or for fluid breaking news situations. The free service allows you to place a box on your own website that you can use to post short updates about an event, insert photos and videos, and take questions from readers/viewers.
It’s not the free-for-all that many things are online, though, because the person who is in charge of the chat has complete control over whose comments get through.
For more information, check out this write-up I did on the service a few months ago.
If you’re looking for an example of how CoveritLive might be used, check out this example from student newspaper sports editor Travis L. Brown of the TCU Daily Skiff.
