A sneak peack of the future of Blogger

I think Blogger is one of the products that Google is not investing time at least not as much other products. It takes a lot of time to get new thinks here and even they changed the interface, added templates, stats and a lot of cool things, it is still missing some other.

Well hopefully this year we are going to see a brand new UI and more useful tools. In the SXSW conference days ago they showed the new Blogger which is coming later this year and I was impressed it has a brand new UI which uses GWT, the Editor and the Dash Bord have changed completely and they really took advantage of GWT it looks awesome!

You can read all the details in the official post and enjoy the video.


I am really looking forward for this update :)

Blogger app for Android

I am testing the new blogger app for android and I was expecting more. Actually I am writing this post using it and has a lot of limitations for example you can't see your posts. You can only see the ones that you have written in the app so doesn't sync with your online blogger account which I think it is essential.
Despite the sync functionality this app some really good highlights, like :

• You can switch between multiple accounts as long as you are the author.
• You can obviously write and save posts as a draft if you wanna post it later.
• You can add pictures from from camera or gallery. 
• You can share your location in your posts if you want to.
• And blogger is added to one of the sharing options in the sharing menu so you can share photos from your gallery.

The app still has a lot to improve but it is a good start. I wrote this post using it but only the text part since it was difficult to add pictures where I wanted, make links and format the text properly.
Anyways hit the android market and gve it a try.
