CoveritLive
http://www.coveritlive.com/ CoveritLive has been in development since 2006 in response to the increasing need to deliver real time reporting to readers of blogs and newspaper sites. Writers were struggling to create so called ‘live blogs’ for sports, political events, television shows, conferences and earnings calls but the existing software was holding them back. Chatrooms, forums and discussion boards often denigrated into a place for spammers and a small handful of people who felt the need to dominate the group. CoveritLive took the concept of instant messaging and combined it with the idea that an informed, smart writer could make a live blog worth watching. From there, content (video, audio, images) and interactive (polls, viewer questions) features began to fall into place. |

Tumblr and TumbleBlogs
http://www.tumblr.com Tumblr and TumbleBlogs Am just not sure if I should list this as a "Presence Monitoring" application or as a new kind of Blog (which does not accept comments and the Posts tend to be shorter than normal) To make a simple analogy: If blogs are journals, tumblelogs are scrapbooks. You can also look at tumblelogs as slightly more structured blogs that make it easier, faster, and more fun to post and share stuff you find or create. |

Choosing a Blog Platform
http://www.problogger.net/archives/2006/02/15/choosing-a-blog-platform/ Choosing a Blog Platform These are just some of the typical questions that I get asked each day from bloggers starting out and attempting to make a decision on which blogging platform or tool they should choose. I’m not going to tell you which blog platform you should use because, as you will see, there are good reasons for choosing most of the available platforms depending upon the goals of your blog. What follows is my attempt to flesh out some of the factors a new bloggers might like to consider in deciding on a blog platform. It is probably impacted by own experience of blogging over the last three years and the preferences I’ve accumulated in this time. I invite readers to add to this post in comments below with their own ideas and experiences so we can have a more balanced and useful collection of tips for readers considering such a choice. |

Best Blogging Software (review)
http://www.sitepronews.com/archives/2006/may/19.html Best Blogging Software (review) The blogging platform wars are getting really interesting and much of the discussion I find myself in lately revolves around what is happening with various CMS systems. The market can essentially be defined into 3 major camps: remotely hosted, self hosted, and community based systems. I have used pretty much every blogging platform available and each of them has its ups and downs. In this article I will cover the best options for each area taking into account price, usability, market share and of course SEO potential. |

Elegg : a Blog Host with considerable added functionality
http://elgg.net/ Elgg's initial concept was as a different type of e-portfolio, developed to contrast most current e-portfolio systems which are nothing more than form filling exercises to satisfy institutional requirements. Elgg has been developed to serve as a stand alone personal learning landscape or as a complimentary addition to existing learning environments. The emphasis with Elgg is very much on the learner. Elgg looks to give learners the means to control and own their own development and growth through the use of everyday web technologies. The system has grown and developed (thanks to huge user input) Elgg has morphed into what we have coined a personal learning landscape. This learning landscape provides learners with the ability to control their own learning through the creation of their own online learning profile and interaction within learning communities (both formal and ad-hoc), connection to other learners and resources, reflective potential, information gathering and sharing.
