Cool settings in the new version of Blogo rolled out in the latest beta release:
I wonder why the import button is only available in full screen mode though?
I’ve said it before, but should Blogo offer a nice code view (since I hate the cluttered wysiwyg code genereated by, well, everything in the whole wide world) I’d have it as a serious contender. Lots of cool features here!
There are two things that the new version of Blogo lacks, two things that would so totally do it for me.
First of all, there’s a “mark as read” feature for the Microblog Viewer, which is Blogo speak for Twitter at the moment. I’m very happy with this one, but it falls short to Twhirl since I can’t mark a tweet as read. Developers, I’ve got a ton of contacts I’m following, and marking as read saves me a lot of time. I can’t exchange Blogo for Twhirl because of this.
Second, I’m not too fond of having to write in wysiwyg. Sure, it looks great and works great, even with posted, er, posts. However, when I’m lookig at the code I get the same feeling as when looking at code generated by TinyMCE or other similar wysiwyg tools. I don’t want wisywyg in my WordPress admin, and I don’t want it in my blogging tool. If I could turn it off and write code instead, Blogo would be a true challenger to MarsEdit.
It’s still in beta, so I won’t pass judgement yet.
Oh, and I so love the fullscreen functionality!
