Wordfaire is a new service for quickly creating and updating a live blog. To use Wordfaire just sign-in with your Twitter, Facebook, or Google account. Once you've signed-in just choose a url and name for your blog then you can start blogging. Wordfaire updates as soon as you stop typing and hit "update." People viewing your blog will see your updates as soon as you press "update." Wordfaire supports the inclusion of images in your posts, but does not include video support yet (Wordfaire is still in beta).
Applications for Education
Students could use Wordfaire during events like the State of the Union Address, press conferences, and similar events to record their initial reactions. Wordfaire is designed for bloggers who need to rapidly update their blogs during live events, but it doesn't have to be used that way. Wordfaire could also be used as a simple blogging platform for students. Looking for some student blogging prompts? Check out the list of class blog ideas available here.
