Turns out the whole idea of having a desktop app to manage and post to blogs surely wasn’t a bad one. Microsoft had managed to come up with a tool that is compatible not only with their own MSN Spaces, but with LiveJournal, WordPress, MovableType and even Blogger (this post, if successfull would mean it works).
Nice WordPad-like interface, posting pictures and maps – sounds like a solid competitor to Semagic. At least to me 🙂
