I'm starting to use GitHub for work on my blog. Why not? It's got good communication and collaboration tools. Why not hook it up to a blog?

Liveblogging software? #1

Open scripting opened 8 years ago

scripting commented 8 years ago

I've been interested in liveblogging software for a long time, but it's been hard to evolve it without a user community to watch and learn from.

I see that The Verge has a process for liveblogs. It seems there must be a Twitter-like UI behind it, but the posts don't appear to be coming from Twitter.

So my first question is this -- if you're part of the Verge team, what can you tell us about the tools you're using.

And second, if you know of other liveblogging projects, please post a note here.

Wow thanks!

Exactly what I was looking for.

Here's the screen shot of the editorial too.

Here's a Google search for other references to Syllabus.

I see they have a feature that pins a message to the top of the page.

I wonder if they use that feature now, four years later?

IMHO and from a reader perspective only, The Guardian has one of the best liveblogging platform I've seen for publishers. They use a CMS named Composer; a short demo of the liveblogging interface is available here: https://youtu.be/31EpyxcmBeU?t=13m7s

Fivethirtyeight and Quartz are also doing some very interesting liveblogs, specially on how they embed images, charts and data. I really like the way Quartz "livecharts" financial results of public companies:
