Avatars are a great way to distinguish one writer from another. Each writer can use an image of their choosing, and even Panelists without a username and password can set their avatars for your event.

Add more information for your readers by publishing up to 12 Twitter accounts and up to 6 search terms or hashtags directly into your live event. Once you’re live, use Twitter search to add specific tweets, entire search items, or particular accounts - all on the fly. You control what gets published, just like with moderated comments.

Enhanced private messages mean you can FINALLY send private messages to your other Panelists and Producers (as well as readers). This feature makes short private conversations easy such as, “Are you ready to start yet?” or “Let’s take 5 more questions today” - without your whole audience having to read them.

Writers can use the software with any character set including all Asian and Arabic languages. In addition the Viewer Window can now be displayed for readers in a variety of languages!

Use the new Live Edit tool to fix or delete entries during your live event! Great for fixing typos, updating your title or deleting unwanted reader comments. All updates are applied automatically so your readers don't need to refresh the screen. This option is available under your "Tools" in the Writer's Console.

Writers and Producers using mobile devices with enhanced browser support, such as the iPhone and Blackberry, can now live blog directly from their phones! This is an excellent feature for real-time reporting in the field. To begin, simply go to CoveritLive from your mobile browser and login to the CiL mobile interface.

Readers can use their iPhones to view and participate in live events. As a writer you can turn on the Always Allow feature (from a web based browser) and allow trusted contributors to use their iPhones to act as real-time mobile reporters. Contributors and readers can use their iPhones to live stream commentary from pretty much anywhere! Watch for new mobile and iPhone updates coming soon.

Use the Always Allow feature to automatically publish up to 25 readers’ comments without moderation. This is a perfect feature for trusted readers, or new readers who have great insight to share.

Panelist / Producer

Instead of launching several different events to cover multi-day or long events, you can now put your live event into Standby Mode. This lets you take long breaks and disconnect, then come back at any time within 48 hours to continue. While in Standby, your readers can catch up on what has happened so far. A great feature for conference attendees or all-day sports events.

Involve your readers in your event. Panelists are contributors with access to an enhanced Console. They can post live links in HTML and view all commentary, published or not, but do not help run the event. The Panelist role is suitable for “guest speakers”, and for featuring multiple writers.

If you expect a very large audience or are covering a complicated topic, you may want to invite Producers to help you run the event so you can focus on the commentary. Producers have access to the Writer’s Console including the Media Library, and can do everything the writer can do with the exception of starting the event.
