I've been thinking about a couple of different ways we could do something like this.
Number one, I think it is important that this be implemented as a plugin rather than core. The vast majority of bloggers don't need this kind of functionality, so it should stay as a plugin. My first idea is to actually implement this as a Firefox plugin. That gives us a lot more power which will help to make it an awesome user interface. Secondly, I think a couple of formats need to be supported: quotes, links, images, and videos. It should be set up to work seamlessly with common services (Flickr, YouTube, etc.). Third, I think two workflows should be allowed: media collection and microblogging. Media collection would be when you ware working on a longer post which references a lot of different media (quotes, links, images, videos, etc.). You should be able to collect that media as your surf and research. When you go back to publish, it should all show up in a silo to be integrated into the site. Microblogging would be very similar to that screencast: find the media, fill in a couple of fields, click post. If anyone has experience with this sort of thing, I'd love to get some help with it. Otherwise, it'll be a while before I find the time to build it. On Sep 1, 2008, at 4:46 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I've been using Asaph for the last few months as a microblog.
