OK – so with a switch here – and a switch there, I think I have managed to introduce a new part of my workflow – “just like that” – as Tommy Cooper used to say.
Here’s the deal – I have discovered this amazing online resource called ‘Draftin’.
Why am I excited ? Well – for a long time now I have been VERY disappointed with myself with regard to my use of Facebook. I drop a lot of stuff in there – mainly because it is soooooo easy. Then even just a week later – try finding anything – close to impossible. Facebook is ‘for the moment’. Sure – fun – but totally impractical.
I have the wordpress app on my pad and phone, i use Mars Edit, I have Blogsy – all great for ‘proper’ posts – but for quick ‘comments into the stream’ – over kill. No longer. Sign up to Draftin – post my comment – submit – and it drops right into my blog stream, complete with tags and categories.
Just some of ‘the bennies’
- It uses HTML and Markdown
- You can collaborate with it
- You can publish to blogs – hidden and public
- It hooks into dropbox, box, evernote …
Anyway – now you know why I am excited – and now signing off as I move on with my ‘Great Experiment’.
