Week-by-week you’ll see dozens of enhancements and new things appearing. It’s all part of our committment to be the premiere live publishing platform out there today.

Desktop Notifier

Now 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.

With one click you can install and launch our notifier application and see updates popup instantly in the bottom right corner of your screen. Click on an update, and the full post or image opens in your browser.

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 PC’s.

Embed Settings

Change the colors and style of your embeds to perfectly match the style of your site.

On Deck Comments

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.

Shortened URLs

Need an easy way to add your live event to Twitter or another social site? Grab a shortened URL of your event

Invite Box

More statistics

Keep track of how many live watchers you’ve had, number of posts, and number of comments in real-time.

Custom Statistics

You can now add your own Google Analytics account ID and we’ll take care of putting the code on all your pages. Also, now you can choose to display whether your watchers can see how many live watchers you have, or keep it to yourself.

Image Uploading

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.

Share Sidebar

Help your watchers get the word out there using an social bookmarking site, as well as tweeting your shortened URL.

sharesidebar

And more!

We didn’t stop there! You will find lots of other features and fixes across the site including the following additions to the embeds:

  • Scale font size
  • Easy to find RSS link
  • Auto-translate to 20 languages
  • Toggle viewing comments on/off
  • Customizable sounds

If there’s any other feature you would love to see this summer (and trust me, LOTS more on the way) please drop us a line on our Support site (oh yeah, that’s new too).

Happy liveblogging!
