I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Performancing for Firefox: A Review

by @ 10:09 am on January 8, 2006.
I wrote several days ago about a new blog editor I’d discovered called Performancing for Firefox that operates as a plug-in to Mozilla Firefox. Since then, I’ve had the chance to use it to compose several blog posts and have come away quite impresseed.

First of all, comparing Peformancing to the default Blogger editor is like comparing a Ferrari to a Model-T. They basiscally do the same thing, but Peformancing, even at this early stage of its development, is far ahead. If you’re still on Blogger and not using this product, you’re missing something big. For one thing, there’s the ability to open a fully functional blog editor while you are surfing the web. Before now, I was opening Blogger in one tab and keeping the page, or pages, I was writing about open in another. Now, my blog editor appears in a window at the bottom of the screen. Much easier.

Another great feature that I’ve started making use of is the ability to automatically insert Technorati Tags in your posts.

The editor itself has most of the basic tools that you’d expect to find in a blog editor. There are a few things that I’d like to see, such as the ability to strikeout text, but hopefully that will show up in a future version.

And that’s another thing I like about this product. Like many things associated with Firefox, it looks like this is a product that will be constantly improved. For example, based on this thread in the discussion forum, it looks like they are working on adding an option to do automatic trackback pings.

As Eric Cowperthwaite said in his own review the other day, this is one slick tool that you definately should have in your arsenal.
