Speedy Blogger

For the longest time, Blogger didn't update much. I mean, you think with the brainpower of Google, who owns Blogger, that you'd get the best of blogging software. But as Web 2.0 rushed into the future, Blogger stayed blissfully still, ignorant to any new ideas, as other blogging services tried new ideas.

Finally, Blogger went into beta and had a minor facelift. But you know what I like best about the new Blogger? The publish part is now near instantaneous. Before, they had this clock a whizzing, and sometimes it whizzed forever. Believe me, that was frustrating.

And that may have been just for show. People expected to see some effort made by the browser when it uploads an article, just like people seem to need loud noise for vacuum cleaners. But now, presto, I click, and it's done in a second, and if I want to crank out another article, it's ready to go.

After all, doesn't it make sense to simply upload as you type? Why wait until later?

So kudos to the guyz at Blogger.
