"CBC Online Garden Chat "

4/5

What do you like best about Live?

We used ScribbleLIve to answer gardening questions from the public in conjunction with a live radio call in. Our audience came from all over Canada and even from the U.S. I thought that the interface was fairly easy to use and the ability to link with social media very useful. There were nice features such as the ability to have quotes and post images. I liked the avatars and the overall format. It is also handy to be able to look at the archive of content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Live?

There were occasions when I couldn't see the replies given by our audience. This made it difficult to follow the conversations. I'm not sure if that was a function of the admin person or the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Live solving and how is that benefiting you?

ScribbleLive certainly makes communication come alive. It allowed us to interact with our audience in a fun and engaging way. We gradually built up a following and our audience has increased each year that we have used ScribbleLive. We were able to reach a large nationwide audience to answer gardening questions online. I believe we were able to get some stats on number of responses, audience size, how long they were engaged. Those metrics help us to measure impacts and progress.

"Makes live blogging fun"

4/5

What do you like best about Live?

The varied features offered by Scribble Live make it an incredible tool to use as a publisher. Particularly great are the ease at which one can submit social media posts and the ability to produce a live or manual scoreboard atop the live blog platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Live?

I wish the tool used to create a template was both simpler and had more options. There should also never be a cap on accounts that can be created under a particular platform, as I can't imagine having signed-up users is that burdensome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Live:

Definitely ask to utilize a free trial period to make sure it is right for your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Live solving and how is that benefiting you?

ScirbbleLive allows us to keep our audience engaged during a live event as opposed to us only being able to reach out to them after the fact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great blogging tool"

4/5

What do you like best about Live?

I like the automated tweets that are fed straight to the blog, and its responsive embeds. The slideshow feature is also neat. I also like that we can embed any iframe into the blog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Live?

Slow new blog view. Haven't really fully adapted to it. Won't hurt if it works smoother than the old view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Live:

ScribbleLive is one of the most powerful live blogging tools out there. And we are happy with the experience. I just wish we can customize its look to make it look like it's a product that's well integrated into our brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good, fast updates, minimal problems"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Live?

Using the app as a live blog on our website, it updated instantly and had few issues. We used it for almost a month straight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Live?

The viewership count on the blog often didn't add up to our own content view statistics and there could be a bit more clarification in that regard as to why there is a difference, i.e. what Scribble 'watchers' are defined as. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ScribbleLive is a good tool for our newsrooom"

4/5

What do you like best about Live?

The instantaneous publishing to our live site is a great plus. We have actually switched to a ScribbleLive feed when our website CMS crashes. We can continue to push our breaking news to readers without a major disruption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Live?

The UX can be balky. We like to create live photo galleries, but the new UX makes that difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Live:

Give it a shot. We have had many successful uses of ScribbleLive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Live solving and how is that benefiting you?

ScribbleLive gives us a solid, live-blogging tool that is not possible in our current CMS. We have been able to attract readers to breaking-news coverage and to events coverage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3.5/5

Once you learn how to use the platform it's fairly easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy blogging utility"

4/5

What do you like best about Live?

ScribbleLive is super easy to use - editors and writers can learn it very quickly and start publishing real-time content very quickly. It's flexible - it accommodates a range of media, including photos and curated social posts - and pretty customisable by means of CSS. Different user roles allow varying levels of access, from writers to publishers to admins. Utilities such as embeddable polling and pinboards are useful tools for other aspects of web publishing. The ScribbleLive team are excellent at onboarding clients and helping them get the most of the platform and its opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Live?

There is little to dislike about the platform. Our main reason for not retaining it is the dominance of social platforms for real-time information - it felt like we replicating effort on our website live blog which was carried to a broader audience on Facebook.
