Liveblogging: Take II
So for some strange reason, CoverItLive will initialize on my Windows machine using FF 2.0, but not my Mac. Seeing as if my Windows machine is acting wonky right now, this isn’t good. I’m still going to try it though.
Hmmm. Maybe I should backtrack a bit. I’m not a big fan of liveblogging. Either I take part in something (and enjoy it) or I liveblog: I can’t do both. Via The Next Web, I learned about CIL, which may make liveblogging a tad bit easier for me. I decided to try it out today.
One uh-oh about the service is that, at least according to CIL’s website, the iframes in the code don’t play nice with WP. Actually, that should be reversed: WP doesn’t play nice with iframes. CIL recommends giving your users the actual link to the code instead of the embed. Users paste the link in the browser and the liveblogging session pops up in a window. Not really keen on that.
In any case, I’ll try to test this thing out some more.
