You can follow any of our live blogs on your desktop leaving you free to surf to other sites, answer emails, or pretend to work while ensuring you don't miss a moment of the action. Our Desktop Notifier is the newest way to keep up with your event. We built it on the Adobe AIR platform to ensure it's compatible with Macs and PCs.
Unlike other live blogging sites or applications like Twitter, we have no character limit to our posts.
Along with basic Bold and Italic tags you can copy code from any web page that contains an embed and it will appear.
Simply by adding your link to your post, right in line with your comment, the text will instantly become a link.
A post can be "pinned" near the top of the event to enhance its visibility and prevent it from being buried by newer posts. You can pin as many as you like and they can be text, images, videos, live feeds or any other embedded file.
With our unique invite codes you can invite your friends and colleagues to post with you, comment or watch.

The permission page allows you to un-invite writers or stop twitter followers that you set to post to an event.
We know how carried away a live event can get. That's why when the content gets too long, we paginate. The reader has a better experience and you are able to monetize those extra page views if you wish.
The simplicity of our site makes it easy to adapt to any mobile browser. Our application looks great and works like a charm on the Apple iPhone.
Choose from JPEG, GIF or PNG images file types and they will automatically be scaled. Posting an image is now even easier with multiple images at the same time, a progress indicator, or just put the URL of an image (ending in .jpg, .png, .gif) in the post box and we'll pull it in for you.
Upload any standard audio or video formate and it will be transcoded on-the-fly of post it in seconds to the live event. It's great for quick shots or sounds bytes from your event.

While you're blogging an event you can follow Twitter users and have their posts appear in your live event in real-time. If you like, use a search box to find any tweets with your key word and instantly a list will appear, enabling you to post them to your event thread. We even resolve the most popular Twitter images URL's for you and pull in the full image as you post.
Any images you post to Flickr will appear in your liveblog seconds later. Follow a Flickr account under the "Post to this Event" tab.
Copy the event embed and you can have the ScribbleLive experience on your web site in seconds. You have control of the background colour, the text font, size and colour for your content, comments, and meta data, link and divider line colour and style, avatars on or off and the size of your embed.
Also your watchers will notice a few new buttons at the bottom of the embed. They include sound control, the ability to turn off user comments to reduce the posts to authors only, help, font size, RSS, translation and a launch button for our new Desktop Notifier Application that allows you to follow a live event on your desktop, leaving you free to surf and work.
You can also create an HTML dump at the end of your event and paste it into your site.
We have an RSS feed of all of the live events if that's your preferred way of staying in tune.
The best thing about our integration is the content lives on YOUR site and can be indexed by all search engines. If we're doing our job, Google™ finds you, not us.

All comments appear for you and your writers to moderate. You can edit the comment before posting, invite the commentator to become a full participant or ban them from the event.
Running a Q&A session where you want to pick the best of the comments coming into moderation, and post them later? Now you can click the icon in the "Comments in Moderation" box to reveal the On Deck area. All writers will have access to the area so you can work together, but the public won't see posts until you've approved them into the liveblog stream.
