ecto for Windows 2.2

ecto for Windows 2.2We've asked you which blog editor you prefer (and so has Lifehacker), but for my money you simply can't beat ecto, at least on Mac OS X (I've honestly never used it on Windows). It's a powerful editor with strong integration with other tools and software, and Adriaan Tijsseling has just updated it to version 2.2 with quite a few new features and fixes, including:
  • Flickr Search support for image upload
  • support for CSS style/class for image upload
  • support for generic tag format (e.g. Ultimate Tag Warrior)
  • GoDaddy.com's Quick Blog to the preset list of blog type in Profile Creation Wizard
  • initial support for the new Google's Blogger beta using the GData library
  • profile backup and restore to file capability
  • Paste Special option to Post window with capability to paste text as unformatted text or strip out MS
  • and much, much more
This looks like a strong update to a killer blogging app, and if you're in the market for more blogging power than a simple web form, I highly recommend it whether you're on Windows or Mac OS X. You can learn more about ecto here and download a demo. A license costs $17.95, with discounts for cross-platform and bulk purchases available.

Google unites Apps for Your Domain with domain registrars

Google unites Apps for Your Domain with domain registrars
Google has just announced a partnership with GoDaddy and eNom, two leading domain name registrars, to allow new users of their Apps for Your Domain service to register a domain right from within Google's signup process. This is a killer idea that, in hindsight, sounds like a completely logical step to take, but I bet most didn't even see it coming. After you sign up for a Google Account or log in to their service signup page, you are how offered the ability to enter your existing domain to get the process started, or search for and purchase a domain if you don't already have one. As icing on the cake, Google is even including private registration (typically ~ $2-3/year/domain) if you buy your domain through this new feature.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
