Generate Local News Liveblogs in 3 Clicks

Tickaroo’s newest feature, the Live Blog Link, is the fastest way to integrate a liveblog into a website or distribute the real-time content. We’re not talking minutes here, we’re talking seconds.

Liveblogs for Communities
The decision of wanting to provide liveblog technology to cities and communities for a free trial period also led to a new product update. Since municipal organisations are not set up the same way as a publishing house or sports club, we recognized that this group would also have its own specific requirements such as access to varying levels of technical support available to them. It’s for this new audience that we developed the Live Blog Link which is a pre-styled landing page. The liveblog is presented in a professional manner and time-saving format since no additional styling is required. Instead of having to rely on a developer to integrate the liveblog into a city’s homepage, it’s also possible for anybody who can add written content to the site to present and publish the liveblog landing page for their citizens.

Three-Click Setup
Being able to present official and accurate information in real-time helps to avoid confusion and the spread of misinformation. Updates can include everything from new health and safety measures and community initiatives to information about financial aid. By following these three simple steps it’s easy to create a link for the pre-styled landing page. After clicking on the liveblog that’s meant to be shared:

1. Click on the "Preview & Embed" tab.
2. Next, click on the “Live Blog Link” tab.
3. Thirdly, click “Create Live Blog Link” so that the URL is generated.

The URL can then be included as a hyperlink or as a landing page for a call to action (CTA) button. The link can also be quickly and easily posted on various social platforms such as Facebook or distributed via group chats (e.g. WhatsApp). Although this efficient way of sharing content was primarily developed for cities and communities, this feature is available for any organisation that has a Tickaroo Live Blog account.
