direct publishing of blogs
The story that Word 2007 will built-in blogging has been floating around. Ars Technica says the program manager decided to include the feature because he was frustrated with the lack of AutoCorrect in Web-based blog editors. I wonder if while writing a post, Clippy will pop up and say, “It looking like you’re Fisking a story,” while turning on an auto-blockquote feature.
This isn’t so dumb, client-side blog editors like Ecto and MarsEdit are nice for composing blog posts offline or in a richer environment. Having this functionality built into Word will just eliminate the need for another editor. If blogging through Word catches on maybe we’ll see a reduction in teh amount of typos online.
