Sotic's new MatchDayLiveBlog is the new one-stop-shop for live news, images, stats and fan interaction. Teaming with our Live Blog partners, the product fully integrates with the Sotic content management system and is fully editable across PC and mobile.

Content

The LiveBlog brings together all the great features from social media and other websites and displays the information in a dynamic and unique timeline. Content is pulled to the live blog automatically and includes:

• Twitter comments from designated account
• User generated content from CMS such as News, previews, reviews and galleries
• Embeded content from a range of social media channels including Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, Audioboo, Instagram
• The ability to have pulled content from Twitter truly gives the LiveBlog an interactive feel. Tweets from clubs, tournaments and fans give a variety of perspectives, which of course can be selected for display by the user.

The owner of the LiveBlog can also add content directly to the platform. Images from events are automatically re-cropped to fit the page, while comments and contributions from multiple bloggers/contributors can be added to give some context or opinion to the blog in real time.

The LiveBlog can also push content away from the platform back in to social media. Comments can be automatically assigned to appear on Twitter using relevant Twitter handles and Hash Tags. Live results and statistics from matches can also be pushed out to social media, tagging clubs, players and federations in the process.
