Flock, und stuffen

So since I work for Zimbra, one of the hot new Web2.0 companies, I felt a bit guilty for not using any of the other Web2.0 stuff out there. Really, I haven't felt the need to replace anything but mail/collaboration with an online app.

I don't know if I'm too geeky (is it really that hard to write wikitext by hand in emacs and copy-and-paste it into the edit window?), too old and out of it (do people really want to see the photos on my cellphone?), or too demanding and ahead of the game (can you give me an online replacement for Garage Band/Logic/etc.?). But I thought I might as well try it.

So I downloaded Flock, grabbed a blog on blogger.com, and now I'm trying it out.

OK, so editing the blog through Flock seems marginally nicer than using the website directly--and much nicer than using the "Word export" thingy. Hmm, maybe there is something to all this after all?
