# Collaborative Coverage Tools BeatStrap Helps Teams with Live Blogging on Twitter By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-05-23 | Social Media Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-blogging References: [wersm](http://wersm.com/cover-live-events-as-a-team-with-beatstrap/) & [beatstrap.me](http://www.beatstrap.me/) BeatStrap is a platform for live blogging as a team on Twitter, making it easy to get a range of perspectives into a single "beat." The tool allows you to add multiple users from Twitter to a single beat, providing a rich array of content from a number of sources like Instagram, Vine and YouTube in order to enhance tweets sent in real-time. The best part about sending out tweets with BeatStrap is that they can be edited and managed from a variety of devices like phones and desktop devices, as well as shared on any site by being embedded. BeatStrap operates on a freemium model, which means that a number of features are offered for free, while others are restricted for those who pay for the service. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialmedia) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collaborative Live Blogging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a platform that allows teams to live blog collaboratively on social media platforms other than Twitter. - **Multi-source Content Integration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a tool that aggregates content from various platforms, like Instagram, Vine, and YouTube, to enhance real-time social media updates. - **Device-agnostic Social Media Management:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build a platform that enables users to edit and manage their social media posts from any device, regardless of the operating system. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Social Media Management:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced tools and platforms that empower teams to effectively manage social media content, collaboration, and analytics. - **Live Blogging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative platforms and technologies that enable seamless real-time collaboration in live blogging activities across various online platforms. - **Content Aggregation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new methods and technologies to aggregate and curate content from multiple sources, providing more comprehensive and engaging experiences for users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Online Collaborative Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beep-20.md) - [Microblog Meeting Update Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teamtap.md) - [Content Aggregation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feedboard.md) - [Collaborative Editor Toolkits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiptap.md) - [Creative Professional Productivity Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streamwork.md) - [Content Acceleration Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bupple-20.md) - [Creative Texting Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texttheinternet.md) - [Real-Time Publishing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-to-draft.md) - [Remote Music Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotcake.md)
