Now a better blogger, not a beta blogger
In the little *ehem* time I've been not been posting, Google has made quite a few noticeable improvements to their blogger app. I'm seriously impressed. They've even removed the Beta label!!!!
I mean, this bloody thing is smooth... working more like an app than a website. They've done a phenomenal job on it. Kudos Google.
I wont go into the details of what they changed or how they changed it, I'm sure better people than me will have provided in-depth tutorials, screenshots, comparisons, reviews, yadda yadda yadda... What I will do is mention the experience that this new blogger has.
Google has done an impressive job making the entire experience much smoother and easier. The site runs fast, I mean really fast - which is no small feat as my Internet connection is un-reliable (thank you Verizon). More than a major overhaul, they where able to simply streamline and squash the bugs out of the over all system - which if you think about it, is exactly what your supposed to do when moving from a beta system. I guess I'm just accustomed to sites/tools that focus more on features and effects than on finishing what they started.
Love the spellcheck - a great example of how Google has integrated elements of its Gmail into blogger, and how one system/project is feeding others, and others... my lord, its such an improvement.
Ok, so I have added nothing substantial to this post, and I think I'm getting a little tiered of writing... actually I do need to get some work done. But I wanted to at least get back into the habit of writing. Until I find my next muse, I will continue to write and see what I can come up with.
Stay tuned in... ¶ 3/13/2007 08:29:00 AM
