CoverItLive, which makes a free hosted live blogging platform I like a great deal (see previous coverage), is launching a new "always on" feature called CoverItLive Enterprise, that it will sell to major online news outlets.

The idea is that instead of (or in addition to) running story pages that embed individual CoverItLive live blogs, a site can maintain one blog page with a perpetual live blog window. It will come alive with content when writers are participating in a live blog. A big advantage, for writers, is that they don't have to get an embed code from the CoverItLive system and then create a story to include the code in.

They just start writing in the CoverItLive tool (which is simple). The advantage for the publisher is they can just have one page with the always-ready live blog placeholder, and users can get used to going there for regularly scheduled live blogs or for breaking news; advertisers can also sponsor the live page easily. The feature isn't live yet on any sites. How can I make my blog load faster? - Blogger Help Center. The speed at which your blog loads is critical to attracting more readers to your blog.
