Addendum. VTDigger.org has only used CoverItLive in an election application. I like the suggestions from JA re: more regular usage as a way to get readers involved on a more frequent basis, or using it to cover conferences. The trick there is to have a dedicated page on your site that readers are aware of, and that you link to through posts so that you don't have to rework your front page all the time. The other thing to consider is how to best archive the information.
