ScribbleLive Mobile 1.2 for iPhone in AppStore!
The next version of ScribbleLive Mobile for iPhone is now available in the AppStore. With this version, it’s even easier to view all your company’s events. Just choose your client under “User Settings”, and you’ll see a new area appear on the home screen when you see everything your fellow employees are working on. If you have permissions to write, moderate or administer their events, you will now have the same permissions as online.
You asked for it, so we built it: you can now caption your media (images, audio or video) directly from the iPhone app as well. Describe your images with a caption to give them more context. You’ll be prompted whenever you post media.
Now you can even publish your events to multiple websites right from the creation screen in the app. If you change your mind later, you can change those settings in the “Admin” area of an event.
As well as these changes, there’s a bunch of bug fixes in this version. We’d love to hear your feedback in the comments, or via Support.

People (in Hawaii) love their Little League!

Flickr2Facebook Logo Design Contest
Everyone knows my Flickr2Facebook logo is ugly as hell. It’s been over 3 years since I wrote the bookmarklet, and to be honest, I often forget people still use it. But whenever the Flickr or Facebook APIs change and it breaks, I get dozens of email from people. I looked at the stats, and hundreds of people are still using it every month. So I thought, maybe this deserves a logo that doesn’t make your eyes bleed.
I’m not a designer (see the original logo for reference), so I thought I’d throw it out to you guys. Does anyone want to whip up a logo for poor Flickr2Facebook? The winner will not only have my undying affection, but a link of their choice will adorn the page whenever someone uses it. Not enough? I will also throw in a “poke” on Facebook. Oh yeah, that just sweetened the deal, didn’t it?
Send your entries to jonathan+flickr2facebook@keebler.net. The winner will be chosen on…ummm…let’s say…September 15th. Since I highly doubt I will get any submissions, I’m not going to put a year on that just yet.
Thanks in advance!
Another Apple Event Sends Traffic Soaring on ScribbleLive
Every Apple announcement gets more and more busy around here, and today wasn’t any exception. The fun all started at 1pm EST as thousands of Apple fanboys and fangirls started hitting our dozens of liveblogs to see what Steve Jobs was going to announce. We had everybody from TechCrunch to Reuters liveblogging from the event.
At our peak we were serving thousands of hits per second across our three CDN providers and Amazon cloud-based infrastructure. For the first time, we had hundreds of people following along through ScribbleLive Mobile on their iPhone as well as online.
Thank you to everyone who joined us today and happy liveblogging!

Heatmap of Apple iPad Launch liveblogs
With the launch of our new mobile app, we’re doing more and more with the geospatial data we receive. For example, here’s a heatmap of where all the posts came from on ScribbleLive during Apple iPad Launch today. Really great to see all the international traffic! Look for a range of new geo-aware features coming down the road

Automatically Ingest Images
Live blogging is a lot more fun with images to match. That’s why we have made the ingestion of images into your event as easy as it comes. No asset manager to complicate things; just some great logic.
To begin with, if you paste a URL to an image into the writer post box, it will automatically grab that image and post it into your live blog. This works with many standard file formats.
Next, if you are using our Twitter integration to follow users or to scan for keywords, once you post or approve a tweet that contains an image URL like twitpic.com, yfrog.com, or flic.kr, we post the image (not just a link to it). This is a useful way to show the complete story around an exciting event. Imagine, at the end of the day you will have an archive of all the content, comments, tweets and images all in one place.
If you were an enterprise client, all this would be wrapped inside a fully branded site where all the content could be found by search engines and you could monetize the page views. Trying doing that on Twitter or with other live blogging competitive tools!
If that’s still not enough, why not link a Flickr account to your live event? It’s simple to do! Under the “Post to this Event” you will find the Flickr setup. Just choose the account you want to monitor (make sure you have permission though cuz it’s not cool to steal someone’s photo stream) and presto, your Flickr photos will start streaming into your live blog. Happy Live Blogging!
Comment from Email to any Live Event
Now it’s even easier to comment from any device. With our short email addresses for every live blog, you can send text, images, audio and video files and see them appear in the live event in no time at all. Providing your moderator approves.
If you’re a writer and you want to reach out to all those watchers on mobile devices, send out this short email address and watch the comments pour in. It’s available to all under the Options tab in the right column of the live blog. Live blogging just keeps getting better and better using ScribbleLive, a live publishing platform. Happy live blogging!
New Advanced Moderator Screen
In respose to our live blogging power users, we are rolling out a great new feature we’re calling the Advanced Moderator Screen. It splits our default two column writer interface into four columns with your live blog on the left, followed by an entire column for your comments in moderation, followed by an entire column of twitter search results, followed by the usual sidebar on the right. You can view up to 1000 comments in moderation and tweets coming in in real-time. That’s a huge amount of information just waiting to be added to your live blog instantly.
Access the new Advanced Moderator Screen by clicking “Moderator View” in the “Advanced View” section in the side bar.
