What are you covering live?

March 13, 2008 04:21 PM

You don't need to be a reporter to be out covering a hot story live. CoverItLive is a new blogging tool that lets you do real live blogging. It works inside your current blog or website and lets readers follow along with you, play by play.

But, does live coverage seem like something you wouldn't actually use? Think about these options:

• Have a staff member live blog a community meeting you hold to learn what your constituents think about the current problems facing your field
• Have a play-by-play capture of a keynote speech or even an auction at your next big fundraiser
• Share the action from a walk-a-thon or other sporting event/fundraiser
• Provide live coverage of your public launch of a campaign, project, report, or initiative
• And much more...

Remember, CoverItLive isn't only accessible while you are typing. The whole entry is archived so readers can go back and follow along whenever it's convenient.

What really makes CoverItLive dynamic, is that those following along with you, can instantly connect with you to ask questions, contribute input, or participate in polls. Plus, it's free.

Next week, I will be attending NTEN's Nonprofit Technology Conference and will use CoverItLive to bring you into some conference sessions with me! Be sure to follow along!
