Live Blogging

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I’m running a gaming site and this is a very good plug-in. Works as described. Often if I want to do live blogging like E3, GDC etc, I can just use this!

   What an absolutely fantastic plug-in. Works nicely and does exactly what’s described in the video. Pagination would be a nice feature. I’d have to give this 5 stars simply because it worked with my custom theme and was simple to use.

   This is nice,But seems a little conflict with facebook plugin. Comments,like buttons and recommendations bar ,all these social plugin went wrong while first reading the live post.It will show 5 like buttons if there is 5 entries.and all social plugin disappeared while first js auto-update. “Method” to use for live blog is a little hard to understand,I cant tell the diff between poll and full page refresh.maybe it needs more docs. anyway,this plugin help live event blogging,we can now have own apple conference or google I/O now.
