Automattic Launches Its Own Liveblog Plugin For WordPress

wordpress liveblog pluginOne of the staples of tech news sites is the liveblog ? not everyone loves them, but for folks who really care about the latest iPhone launch, a liveblog allows you to follow along with every piece of news as it's revealed on-stage. Here are TechCrunch, we use CoverItLive (which was acquired last year by Demand Media), which is okay. Still, as with any blogging product, there's always some grumbling and speculation about whether there's something better. Well, it looks like CoverItLive and other liveblogging services have some fresh competition from Automattic, the company that runs the commercial side of WordPress. Automattic just released version 1.0 of its Liveblog plugin for WordPress.com VIP customers (like TechCrunch). Which makes sense: If liveblogging is a core part of blogging, even for those crazy publications that don't focus on tech news, why not make it part of your blogging platform?
