Just thought I would play around a little with live blogging and live video feed all-in-one. Coveritlive now allows this feature of embedding a live video feed from uStream, Mogulus, Qik (from  your phone) video or video from YouTube (that feature already existed… didn’t know) right into your live blog. Below is a screenshot of my tinkering around… was a little slugging, but I was not connected to the best of networks when trying it out.

What it facilitates is a single window in which one can view live video and participate in the conversation with whoever is conducting the live blog. Of course, uStream itself has a live commenting feature if enabled, so I am not sure what the advantage would be here yet, but if you have any thoughts, let me know. On first pass, it does enable the live blogger to be in charge of what is blogged and who’s comments get posted. That can be a great advantage, as I find many times while trying to participate in commenting within uStream that there is a great deal of “noise” and distracting, disjunct conversation. Coveritlive has a number of great producer and panelist features to help manage discussions going on.

Here is another review of these features.
