Others can also be added as panelists and producers. And people following the event can contribute comments at the moderator's discretion. Like the ability to amass a bunch of text, audio, images and more ahead of time in the media library. Handy to be able to drop an image or bit of text in at the appropriate time.

It's a handy tool. Not as full featured as Cover It Live though. I embedded the live coverage widget on a wiki page. As a viewer of the event, it seemed the only way I could contribute was to sign in to ScribbleLive, too much of a barrier. Might be I just didn't find the right option. As a simple way to just post updates without any other bells & whistles, it works. Cover It Live has many more features, but if you don't need them, then either tool will work.
