If you’re like me and have been overwhelmed trying to follow all the news from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) going on in Las Vegas, LiveFyre has created just the site for you.
The CES NewsHub is a one stop dashboard for all CES News as it happens. The landing page features real-time images from Las Vegas curated from multiple Instagram sources and keywords. A news tab features news from Mashable, Engadget, CNET and Fox, all clients of LiveFyre. ’Brand’ and ‘Product’ tabs feature real-time tweets within columns with headings such as Samsung, Google, Microsoft and Canonical on the brand side, and Televisions, Smartphones, Tablets, Gaming and Digital Health on the product side. The system is set up so you can reply, retweet and favorite tweets directly from the NewsHub page.
Livefyre, creator of the CES NewsHub, is a provider of real-time social engagement software for publishers, businesses, brands and TV Networks. They are involved
with powering conversations online, via products ranging from social curation software to enterprise level commenting and moderation. Clients, in addition to those mentioned above, include Showtime, The Daily Beast, and The New York Times.
Livefyre’s
StreamHub product (what’s powering the NewsHub) has been used to create a number of second screen experiences for major TV shows including a unique live viewing experience for Showtime’s Dexter and true real-time trending social aggregation inside Bravo’s BravoNOW App.
I spoke to Syracuse University alum
Nick Cicero, Lead Social Strategist t for LiveFyre, and asked him why CES NewsHub was created.
“I love watching the real world and digital worlds come together. In social media (and media consumption in general today) it’s not just about the quality of news stories, or the diversity of rich media being shared to a community that creates interaction. It’s the inherent meaning behind all these collisions of media that make ideas worth spreading and engaging with. And to determine that meaning, you first need to figure out a way to easily consume the top news in real-time. Everything Livefyre creates is about real-time social interaction, so that’s why we created NewsHub.”
CES NewsHub is definitely a timely creation, and a great use of the NewsHub product. You can read more about NewsHub
here. LiveFyre was founded in 2009 by
Jordan Kretchmer, and is located in San Francisco.
Let us know how you like the CES NewsHub in the comments and whether you think real-time dashboards like this are the wave of the future in our over-saturated information landscape.
