New Blogging Browsers

OK, I'm probably the last one to know but posting to your blogs is only one click away from most browsers. By downloading and installing an extension in Firefox you can using a tool called Performancing . When you click on the pencil icon, it allows you to create a blog post and submit it to a variety of blog hosting services out there. Performancing also allows you to post links to your Delicious account, keeps user statistics (hits) and has a limited uploading capability.

Now, on the other hand there is a free web browser called FLOCK.
It is very BLOGGER friendly ...once you download and install it, it allows to you highlight portions of the web that you are
reading, right click and choose a portion of that data to post to your
blog. You can even post pictures on that temporary space and have them upload to your blog.

FLOCK can be associated with online photo editors like FLICKR and social bookmarks like del.icio.us
in dynamic ways. This means that if your friends have FLICKR accounts
and post pictures...they can show up on the masthead of your browser.
You can use Flock as an aggregator too making it easy to subscribe and view your feeds without another application.

By the way, I composed this whole entry while I was in Performancing and then published it to my blog without ever opening it! Check it out!

Haven't been able to read much of your blog yet, but can I just say that Guybrarian is possibly the coolest name ever. In fact, I'm furious I didn't think of it first, because I just finished working at our State Library and, well, I like the word 'guy'.

Guybrarian. Solid gold, man.
