Nokia, Apple and HTC are scheduled to host major media events this month. Windows Phone 8 devices and the next iPhone would be revealed to the world in the coming days. This is the perfect time for Automattic to release a plugin that allows anyone to Live Blog an event.

Liveblog plugin is now available for WordPress powered blogs. Features:

Post updates right from the front-end of your site (no need to use the /wp-admin dashboard)
Viewers of your Liveblog get new entries served to them instantly and automatically, without needing to refresh their browser.
Your authors can drag-and-drop photos right into the Liveblog area, without needing to navigate to separate browser tabs or windows.
There’s no need for a separate site dedicated to liveblogging: every post can be a liveblog, even existing ones.
