Blogo
I have been using ecto on my Mac as the main blogging client for a while now. However, recently when my Mac was at repairs, I tried the latest version of Windows Live Writer on a Vista laptop, and it really blew me away. I think WLW is the best piece of Microsoft software I’ve used by a mile. Now I have got my mac back and ecto feels so unfriendly to use suddenly – very unintuitive, very bland, very un-cool. So I started searching for what’s out there and found Blogo. It has got fairly decent reviews, but the problem is it not a freeware, even WLW is FREE! Anyway, I’m giving it a try for now – using its 21-day trial version to compose this post. Lets see how I find it. So far I’m impressed with its simplicity, ease of use, and most importantly, its really cool “fullscreen” mode. It makes you feel like a “writer”, proper writer
And the picture above – a panorama of the Cape Coast in Ghana – is just for the sake of it, to try out features in Blogo


I’ve been an ecto user for sometime too and thought it did it’s job quite well. But after your post… I’ll have to try blogo. I think it’s time for a change
Ecto still does a pretty decent job, but has really poor and very unlike-mac interface and not as user-friendly as WLW or Blogo. One of the coolest thing about Blogo is you can post to micro-blogging sites like twitter directly from it, and also receives updates of people you follow or of those following you! But I’ve to say, after using Blogo to post 2-3 posts already, WLW is way better than either of these blogging clients for mac. I’m even thinking of running Parallels just to use WLW for blog posts!
