What Happened to Ecto? The Best Mac Desktop Blogging Tool.
Do you remember Ecto? It was the most best desktop blogging tool on the Mac. It supported multiple blogs, had Flickr & Amazon integration, along with iLife and so much more. But there hasn’t been a software update in about a year and there is no news on the site.
It’s been quiet, to quiet.
Ecto still works, mostly. The Flickr and Amazon support are broken, but the posting to blogs still works.
I would love to see updates come out that fixed Flickr & Amazon, added support for new services such as Tumblr & Posterous, and some sort of Twitter & Facebook integration. But I’m not sure if that will ever happen.
Blogging on the iPod Touch
What better way to blog than on the go! With the Mobileadmin plugin for WordPress you can do just that.
The plugin re-works WordPress’ admin area to fit in with the iPhone and iPod Touch. Actually, this post has been written on my iPod Touch. *Well, up until this point.
Sure blogging on the iPod Touch/iPhone is cool, it takes a bit longer to write a post and the WYSIWYG controls are not available. However, with the Mobileadmin plugin, it makes easier to do and it works remarkably well.
It’s a must have for any blogger on the iPhone or iPod Touch.
What Has Blogging Given Me?
A while ago, Just Shattuck posted a topic about what blogging has given him. At the end, he poked me to do the same. Even though I’m a bit slow, I’m still going to respond. 
Blogging has given me quite a bit. It gives me the chance to get my voice heard. Some of my posts have helped people from getting scammed or let others know that they are not alone when accidentally erasing an iPod. Some agree with my views while others think I’m full of crap. I love interaction and I love the fact that I can just be myself.
5 Reasons To & Not To Use Flock
Flock is an up-and-comming web browser. Based on Firefox’s rendering engine and having quite a few of the same qualities, Flock should be a contender as it works it’s way towards 1.0. However it has some good and some not so good qualities.
