Blah blah blah:

“BlogJet…  this is really cool! finally the ability to blog on a plane. bring it on! ”

Comments:

• “Well, cool as long as you're not the pilot.”
• “What is blogjet? Is this an actual service provided by airlines?”

Doug Tygar:

The html generated by BlogJet is far more robust than HTML generated by Blogger. It also has a very clean toolbar (although I wish I could add an auto “blockquote” button.)

Yes, Doug, I want this button too. Advanced toolbar is what I’m going to implement in the future versions.

Micro Persuasion – Google to Host Vlogs?:

"It's an experiment we want to run," said Page of the video-uploading service, which he said the company will formally announce "in the next few days." Page made the non-announcement announcement during Monday's opening panel discussion at the National Cable & Telecommunications Show here, upstaging his luminary fellow panelists John Chambers of Cisco, Brian Roberts of Comcast, Jon Miller of AOL and Jeffrey Katzenberg of Dreamworks.

By the way, if you want to post a video to your blog via BlogJet, just click Tools > Attach File, select the video file:

and it will be attached to your post.

Michael Hyatt wrote an article on How to Start a Blog. My favorite part? Of course #5:

Consider using an offline blogging client. This isn’t a necessity but it will make blogging much easier. An offline blogging client is like a word processor for blogging. It enables you to write when you’re not online and then upload your post when you connect to the Internet. The two most popular are BlogJet and ecto (yes, the lowercase “e” is part of the branding).

Thanks, Michael!

In yesterday’s post I’ve cited the short review of BlogJet from The Great Software List, which contained the comparison with ecto – another blog client available for PC and Mac. Someone might think that I did this to make a bad PR for my competitors. No. No way.

Let me cite Guy Kawasaki (Selling The Dream book):

There are two types of enemies: conceptual and tactical…

When I was sa president of ACIUS, our tactical enemy in the Macintosh database market was Fox Software. Both companies, however, shared a conceptual enemy: ignorance among people that Macintoshes can manage databases.

The problem for ACIUS and Fox Software was not achieving greater market share but expanding the market size. In this kind of situation, tactical enemies have to stop fighting each other and fight the conceptual enemy. For example, ACIUS and Fox Software could have jointly sponsored Macintosh database seminars to show people how Macintosh databases can improve their productivity. Then, when the pie was bigger, ACIUS and Fox Software could have focused on market share.

So instead of fighting each other, we want every blogger to know that she can improve her blogging productivity by using a blog client.

That’s why I joined with Yiyi Sun, author of another blog client – WB Editor, to create BlogClients.Info –  a wiki where any developer can write about her blog client, share information on blogging APIs, etc. (Are you a blog client dev? Go ahead and let others know about it!)

That’s why I want you to choose the best blog client for your needs. I’ll be happy if you choose BlogJet, and I’ll be happy even if you choose ecto, w.bloggar, WB Editor or any other – at least, I’ll know that you use a blog client and you understand how it improves your blogging experience.

Finally, if you use a blog client, tell your friends about it!
