Testing out moBlog

I am testing out moBlog, a blogging client for Windows Mobile devices. So far it seems pretty intuitive.

If you can handle basic html you can create a full feature posts with:

  • Bullet points
  • Stylized text
    You can even insert & upload photos.Crappy test images on my phone

    For the price , I’d say that moBlog is the best blogging client Windows Mobile that I have seen.

    moBlog is a mobile blogging application for Windows Mobile (WM) devices. moBlog currently supports Blogger, WordPress.com and Live Spaces. Support for LiveJournal and MovableType/TypePad is also on the cards.

    moBlog is a .NET Compact Framework (.NETCF) 2.0 dependent application. Hence you will need to have .NETCF 2.0, which is a free download from Microsoft installed on your device. You can download .NETCF 2.0 here. It will work on any Windows Mobile 2003 / Windows Mobile 5.0 (WM5) / Windows Mobile 6.0 (WM6) devices.

Firefox 3 grabs Guinness World Record

According to spreadfirefox.com

Thanks to the support of the always amazing Mozilla community, we now hold a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours. From 18:16 UTC on June 17, 2008 to 18:16 UTC on June 18, 2008, 8,002,530 people downloaded Firefox 3 and are now enjoying a safer, smarter and better Web.

You can even create your own download day certificate.

Firefox 3 grabs Guinness World Record

tip to lifehacker.com

A great marketing startegy for Mozilla that generated quite a bit of buzz and 8m+ downloads in one day.  It’s not all puppies and rainbows as Drew @ Downloadsquad points out in his post, “Mozilla Firefox breaks non-existent world record - nobody cares“, but as marketing campaign it was spot on.

Zune Theme for XP

Zune XP ThemeI was reading this post by Brad Linder over at Download Squad, when I spotted this line, “Officially you’re pretty much stuck with Windows XP, Windows Classic, and a Microsoft Zune theme.” I thought to myself, what the heck is the Micrsofot Zune theme.

Well for me and the rest of the uneducated, here’s a post on Download Squad from Nov 2006 talking about the Windows XP Zune theme. Basically it’s a really cool XP theme that doesn’t require any patching or third party apps.

I still run one XP machine at home and two at work and they’re all getting a make over today. Thanks Download Squad. Check it out for yourself at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75078

ScribeFire & Firefox

I’ve already written before about how much I like Windows Live Writer and I am still using Flock, but I’ve found yet another blogging tool that I find both easy & convenient to use. ScribeFire is a Firefox extension that adds a blog editor right into the browser.

Firefox is my portable app browser of choice, but I think I will test out whether or not I can add this to Flock when I get back home. Flock already has a built in blog editor — so it might not work. I will give an update after I attempt it.

Other news of note: Today is Firefox 3 Download Day and Flock has released Flock 2 Beta 1 using the same technology that powers Firefox 3.
