Well, today I will be reviewing a cool little blogging platform called Ecto. Ecto is a desktop blogging application that I will be using for a while, i think. It has hookups in it to MovableType, Blogger, TypePad, WordPress, and most other popular platforms.
It has hookups in it also to connect to iLife media, like iTunes songs, iPhoto pictures, and iMovie projects.
When you add a new blog, it automatically detects the hook points from the blog URL that you provide. You then just enter in your password and are ready to go.
It lets you select Tags, categories, keywords, and anything else essential to blogging. You can enable and disable trackbacks, comments, and other things directly from the application.
You can create a summary, get a word count, and even save a draft directly to your hard drive without uploading it to the server. All of the data is stored locally before publishing. That is a feature worth getting.
Application: Ecto
Price: $19.95, 21 day trial.
