As you can probably tell from my latest few posts, Zoundry has taken the BetterComms Towers crew by surprise, partly because they meet many of the 'wish list' features (or have explained why they can't -- e.g. server-side issues with WordPress), and partly because they installed and found one of my blogs so easily. I have yet to try using it one more than one of my blogs (that's tomorrow's experiment, once I have reclaimed those lost hours of productivity). I'm not trying to set up a 'contest' here between yourselves and Zoundry (and it's interesting that neither the ecto or RocketPost folks have entered the conversation), but I am genuinely interested in helping create a 'works first time, every time' tool that I can recommend to my business clients (who don't have a lot of time to spare and who mostly see the internet as a waste of time and productivity anyway). Thanks again for being a great part of this conversation -- much appreciated. Hey (again) Tris — really appreciate your comments.

We'll definitely work on getting the download requirements better documented and work on a better installer for the Java dedection. For the DropPad (that's the square thing) you should be able to move it (I like the lower left corner myself) ... I will follow up with the developer about the moving problem (we'll probably need to contact you directly for that). I like your suggestion of moving over v2 settings, I can't promise we'll have a solution, but we know that it's important and we would like to get something working. We appreciate all your feedback. We really do. Love to know more about why you WP blog wasn't detected ... we try to auto-detect as many blogs as possible. So ... one blog editor company has entered the fray. Let me have your comments and feedback. Hi Lee, it’s me again. We’ll definitely work on getting the download requirements better documented and work on a better installer for the Java dedection.

However, I haven't heard any rumours of it, and I doubt it would come close to what we have been outlining here. For example, would Microsoft really provide a tool that would interact with PHP and MySQL - two direct competitors to its own products? What would be more likely is that MS would produce there own blogging platform based on SQL Servier and .Net and make you use that. I don't use Microsoft software on my home PC at all - other than Win XP and that might be going soon - but I do appreciate that an awful lot of companies and organisations do. Now, if blog posting and management was built into Outlook, along with a NewsGator style RSS reader plug-in, using a .Net blogging platform then that might be a setup that would be enough to convince the most sceptical of CEOs that blogging is a Good Thing.
