CoverItlive.com is a free (for now) service that allows you to live blog events and publish items directly to any publishing platform. Now this is pretty commonplace and can easily be done with WordPress (and a few extra plugins) but CoverItLive makes it easier and quicker to embed a variety of media and interact with your readers in real time. There is also an instant replay function, which as inane as that might be, might become handy at some point. Now I barely ever liveblog anything, but I can see a lot of use for this at conferences. Have you liveblogged anything before?

The uninstall option will only show up if the plugin has been deactivated and if the plugin author has created an uninstall file.

Update Jan 11: Andrew has released a second iteration of the uninstall tool. Click here to check it out.

WordPress 2.4 Admin Preview: Jordan built up a mockup of the new WordPress 2.4 admin backend. Some of the features work, some of them do not. However you can still get a good idea of what it will look like in 2.4 and where the admin redesign is headed. Via Email. Also, TubeTorial has a video walkthrough of the new admin interface. [EDIT] Please be mindful of the fact that this is a cursory glance at unfinished work on the WordPress admin interace and nothing else. Please read Matt’s comment.

Yahoo! Shortcuts for WordPress is a plugin much like Adaptive Blue that allows you to automagically embed relevant links into your WordPress blog with information about terms on your blog posts. Information for the terms such as company names and tickers, locations, news and product names is determined by Yahoo! and in some cases, Yahoo! search is used to enhance the content. They have also published a tutorial to tweak the generated content. I like the ability to map a location and the ability to link to Flickr photos. Check out the full list of features and the download location here. Download Squad was unimpressed with the features of the plugin. Disclosure: Adaptive Blue is an advertiser on this blog.

The Next Social Network: WordPress Nice article on WordPress as the next Social Network with a look at blogs being more important than an integrated social networking space. I personally like blogs better than any of the other social networking tools that I use but they serve their own purpose. I would have to work harder to achieve the same results as LinkedIn if I were to use a blog for that purpose. I guess if I were to look for the next killer app, which these alpha users seem to be doing, I would be looking at blogs (and WordPress) as well.
