The final result will be something like this, in the backend:
Embed a YouTube video in a live Q&A or liveblogging session with Dilmot.com
And we continue with our integration with the great Twitter app.
We started grabbing questions from tweets, we help you share your Q&A in Twitter, we recently launched the possibility to log in with your Twitter account and today we are launching the feature of embedding tweets in your Dilmot stream.
Embed a tweet inside a Dilmot Q&A session
So, now, when you are live blogging and covering a live event, you may want to embed a Tweet and show it nicely with this functionality. Then only thing you have to do is to paste the specific url of the tweet, and Dilmot App will pick it up and embed it in the Twitter embed format.
In Twitter, select “Copy link to Tweet”, then you have to copy paste the given url like this:
https://twitter.com/dilmot/status/609888259112574976
or, select “Embed Tweet”, and you copy paste, the full embed text, like this example:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">A free tool for the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/newsroom?src=hash">#newsroom</a> in the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DigitalMedia?src=hash">#DigitalMedia</a> to publish live Q&A's <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/socialmedia?src=hash">#socialmedia</a> <a href="http://t.co/htRenI9L2j">http://t.co/htRenI9L2j</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Journalism?src=hash">#Journalism</a></p> — Dilmot (@dilmot) <a href="https://twitter.com/dilmot/status/609888259112574976">June 14, 2015</a></blockquote>
Live blogging is a great way to cover an event
We are launching a new feature that our clients have been requesting: Liveblogging
Dilmot offers a live Q&A platform, and the way to publish “live posts” is to use the Comment functionality. We have improved it so that it is much faster to use: the form box is open and you can publish a comment just by pressing enter.
Use Dilmot as a liveblogging tool
We also give the option to enter new lines in the text, using many options: the most traditional alt+enter, and two other alternatives: shift+enter and ctrl+enter.
In the following example, you can see how a newspaper is using this feature to discuss about football news. The design shown can be easily customized.
