Instant updates with no refresh required

As you're watching an event unfold in real-time, there's no reason to refresh your browser. The updates appear instantly from newest to oldest.

Desktop notifier New

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.

No character limits

Unlike other live blogging sites or applications like Twitter, we have no character limit to our posts.

HTML tags in posts and comments

Along with basic Bold and Italic tags you can copy code from any web page that contains an embed and it will appear.

Add links to your posts

Simply by adding your link to your post, right in line with your comment, the text will instantly become a link.

Sticky posts

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.

Set permissions

The permission page allows you to un-invite writers or stop twitter followers that you set to post to an event.

Pagination

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.

iPhone compatibility

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.

Integration

Twitter integration Improved

Write a post or upload an image you feel is important to your Twitter audience, Tweet it with a single click to drive people to your live 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.

Flickr images

Any images you post to Flickr will appear in your liveblog seconds later. Follow a Flickr account under the "Post to this Event" tab.

Customized embed New

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.

Custom HTML generation

You can also create an HTML dump at the end of your event and paste it into your site.

RSS

We have an RSS feed of all of the live events if that's your preferred way of staying in tune.
