Blyve is a real time liveblogging platform used by top brands and media companies including the Los Angeles Times, the US Department of State, Walgreens, and Comcast Sportsnet among others. Founded in 2008, Blyve is based in Livermore, California.

History[edit]

Blyve was founded in late 2007 by Richard Garcia and Jeffrey Cohen (initially as G-Snap). In late 2008, G-Snap hired Ramsey Ksar from Yahoo! who is now the General Manager and Vice President of Product Management. In July of 2012, G-Snap rebranded their service as Blyve along side a major re-launch of their service.

Key Benefits[edit]

Blyve's key benefit is providing brands, publishers, and media companies a live blogging platform where they can relay news from a live event via real-time updates. Event attendees can interact with the host and other attendees by asking questions, providing commentary, voting in polls, and viewing media.
