Tomorrow the award ceremony of The BOBs happens, a blog award. There are some great features added to the award ceremony. The ceremony will be streamed live at the internet and accompanied by live blogging realized by using the Cover it Live application, which has been covered here. That is great at all, but the best thing is that everyone may put the live video and blogging streams onto an own blog or website by embedding the codes. You may get the codes at the homepage of The BOBs or view the event at this page. Starting time is 27th Nov. 20 CET.

Live Blogging with Scribble Live
Scribble Live is another extended blogging platform for instant publishing and live conversations.
Scribble Live has some unique features that start with the login. There is no registration required. Logging in happens by using an existing account. Actually this may happen by OpenID, a Facebook or a Microsoft Live account. Secondly there is a function to invite others to follow a live coverage and furthermore to let them participate in a discussion. For invitations and participation there is an invite function sending out invite codes for collaborative blogging. By this it is most usable for events. Last but not least it is multimedia enabled. Multimedia files may become added either by linking or uploading.
By these features Scribble Live has an interesting approach. The site is still in beta and further features and tools are likely to follow.
