Dude…ScribeFire!
July 6th, 2008
And I’ve finally found it!
After using Flock for a while (a great tool for guys like me who have to be constantly playing around on social networks) to handle all of my blogging, I’ve discovered ScribeFire. My life has changed.
ScribeFire is a plugin for Firefox, so instead of having to crack open an entirely different browser to post to my various blogs, I can simply open up this tool inside my current browser and type away. The best part is that it opens in a “pane” type thingy below my browsing window so that I can actually blog while browsing the web. Pretty cool.
Like Flock, ScribeFire provides me the means to compose once, post multiple places. It allows for tags, categories, looking at previous posts, etc. I can edit in a WYSIWIG mode or edit the source code directly. At first brush, it also seems to be a little less buggy than Flock’s blog editor, but then again, this is only my second attempt at using it. I’ll keep you posted if I run into any trouble.
Best of all? I’ve finally found a tool that will post to every single blogging service I use, including MySpace. Cool, huh? Now I can write one post and send it to my WordPress blogs, Xanga, MySpace, and Blogger with hardly any effort at all.
The saddest thing is that I took all of those hours moving my blog from MySpace to Blogger a few months ago when I could have kept them all there too. But hey, MySpace was frustrating me at the time and the decision to move away from it as my central personal blogging platform to Blogger was also related to my decision to move away from it as my central social network of choice to Facebook. So I don’t regret it.
If you blog in multiple places and use Firefox, I’d encourage you to check out ScribeFire. I’m liking it so far.
