Auto Posting and Other Twitter Improvements
Friday, August 14th, 2009In the last week we have rolled out a considerable amount of improvements to the Twitter integration portion of our live blogging tool. We’ve decreased the amount of time it takes to pull in tweets to mere seconds.
Earlier this week we added the ability to tweet a post from ScribbleLive out to your Twitter account. This is a much better way for you to share a live event with your friends instead of “live tweeting” and inundating your followers with updates to an event they might not care about. Instead, you can tweet just the really great points right from your live blog. We are the only ones to offer this useful feature in the live blogging space.
To continue to be the best live blogging tool available, now we have added the ability to follow a search term, @reply or #hashtag in real-time…and we mean real-time! In fact, it works so well that we have to limit the number of posts it absorbs to 15/min so your live blog is not flooded with so many tweets you can’t keep up (This is more than enough for most events. In our Enterprise solution we increase this cap). We also automatically filter out RT (re-tweets) and we do our best to prevent spammers from appearing in your stream.
Look for even cooler features around our Twitter integration in the coming weeks. These are just the tip of the iceberg as we continue to add even more great features to ScribbleLive this summer. Happy live blogging! 
P.S. Here’s a video walkthrough of how to use Auto Posting:
P.P.S. As always we cannot be responsible for the uptime of Twitter and the availability of its API or OAuth login. One of the reasons we suggest that ScribbleLive is a better real-time platform for live blogging

Automatically Ingest Images
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009Live blogging is a lot more fun with images to match. That’s why we have made the ingestion of images into your event as easy as it comes. No asset manager to complicate things; just some great logic.
To begin with, if you paste a URL to an image into the writer post box, it will automatically grab that image and post it into your live blog. This works with many standard file formats.
Next, if you are using our Twitter integration to follow users or to scan for keywords, once you post or approve a tweet that contains an image URL like twitpic.com, yfrog.com, or flic.kr, we post the image (not just a link to it). This is a useful way to show the complete story around an exciting event. Imagine, at the end of the day you will have an archive of all the content, comments, tweets and images all in one place.
If you were an enterprise client, all this would be wrapped inside a fully branded site where all the content could be found by search engines and you could monetize the page views. Trying doing that on Twitter or with other live blogging competitive tools!
If that’s still not enough, why not link a Flickr account to your live event? It’s simple to do! Under the “Post to this Event” you will find the Flickr setup. Just choose the account you want to monitor (make sure you have permission though cuz it’s not cool to steal someone’s photo stream) and presto, your Flickr photos will start streaming into your live blog. Happy Live Blogging!
