ScribeFire
By Susan Pomeroy | November 13, 2008
I’m testing a new blog publishing utility: ScribeFire. It works with Firefox, and with it, you can publish to any of your blogs from one interface, without logging in anew for each blog.
Here’s a description from the ScribeFire web site:
ScribeFire is a full-featured blog editor that integrates with your browser and lets you easily post to your blog. You can drag and drop formatted text from pages you are browsing, take notes, upload images, and post to multiple blogs.
You can use it to upload not only images, but audio and video files as well. In addition, ScribeFire runs an ad network… the real “meat” of this free program is that you can join the ad program from within the publishing interface. Nifty. If you’re not interested in this kind of monetization right now, however, no problem. It doesn’t interfere with the the utility of the free tool. You can ignore the ad options forever, if you wish.
I think this tool offers a super-easy shortcut to quickly publish on several blogs. It will work wonderfully if you’re on your home computer, or traveling with your own laptop. But, since it’s a customized installation, it’s useless where it seems as if it could be a most helpful shortcut: if you’re traveling without a laptop, relying on Internet cafes, public libraries, or friends’ computers to update your blogs, you can’t use ScribeFire.
