On June 23/24, Jackie Danicki and I had the pleasure of meeting with Keith McSpurren, CEO of CoverItLive during Personal Democracy Forum. It was an instant match with live qik being embedded into the overall live blogging experience of CoverItLive. We then had a chat with some of our common customers, like TheUptake, and Jason Barnett got excited about the possibility as well.

Fast forward to July 15 and CoverItLive has an integration with Qik enabling live bloggers to quickly (pun intended :)) embed live qiks happening during that event to the live blog. Here are some screen snapshots on how this looks:

The CoveritLive Console for the writer of the live blog with a Qik video showing. User simply copy/pastes the embed code for Qik into the Console and clicks ‘play’.
