First Look: Performancing Blog Editor Plug-in For Firefox
Posted by Stowe Boyd
I installed the Performancing blog editor plugin for Firefox today, and it will likely become my default mechanism for blogging.
The basic idea is very much in line with my rave about RSS Readering: I am reading a web page, and I want to write something about it, but I don't want to shift context. With the Performancing plugin, I don't. I right click the page (which on a Mac means option click) which then brings up various options, including the now plugged-in 'Performancing...' option. Selecting this leads to a full featured WYSIWYG blog editor taking up the bottom half of the Firefox browser window, and the blog entry includes a link to the page I right clicked on.
I haven't had much experience with the editor yet, but will put it through its paces for a few days, and get back to you.
Om Malik seems to suggest that this editor doesn't work with Macs, but it does. He also points out that Performancing's editor provides much of the functionality of Flock, which I have tried but haven't warmed to at all.
And the nice people at Performancing have stated that they will soon be rolling a version that will support the creation of Technorati tags, too. Even better.

hi there
i am suggesting no such thing that it doesn't work with mac. i just said, i prefer ecto. i think it is a great tool for those who don't use ecto.
just thought i should point that out because i love this extension quite a bit

Performancing is a nice little add-in. For a *much* more advanced blog editor, check out RocketPost:

(I designed it.)
It supports trackbacks, built-in photo editing, auto links to related posts, and lots more.

Performancing has an update available this morning that includes the Technorati tag feature. I like it better than ecto, for the same "no need to switch context" reason. It's not a perfect extension yet, but I think it's a really great start.
