 BlogJet v1.5
is a weblog client for
Windows that allows you
to manage your blog
without opening a browser!
Those who are seriously concerned with blogging, cannot imagine their work without using this wonderful tool with elegant interface.
Easy to setup, easy to use. Intuitive Account Wizard helps you to create a new blog or use an existing one with BlogJet (it supports almost all leading blog services). Furthermore, the intuitive smart interface of BlogJet will help you to start using the program right away.
The rich word processor allows you to format your posts according to your tastes and needs; it does not require any special skills. Changing colors and fonts, underlining, italicizing or making a text bold — all these procedures are performed with just one click or by pressing a hotkeys combination. You will instantly see the changes as if you were using Microsoft Word. If you would like to hack your HTML code, all you need is to switch to Code editor, which has such features as syntax highlighting and intelligent code completion.
Built-in spell checker fixes your mistakes with a few clicks, or launches automatically as soon as you publish your posts.
If you need to insert a picture, resize it, or create a thumbnail, drag-and-drop an image from your browser to BlogJet, or click the button. BlogJet is smart enough to automatically upload it to your blog or FTP server.
If you want to add some fun to your blog, there are 20 high-quality smileys and the Now Playing feature, which detects the name of the artist and the song title for the track being currently played in Windows Media Player, Winamp, or iTunes. It can even insert a link to this song in famous iTunes Music Store, so that readers can buy your favorite music.
There is another entertaining feature — voice attachments. Take a microphone and record your voice. It will be attached to your post and uploaded to your blog. Unlike web-based audio blogging services, there are no monthly fees, and it does not require external plug-ins!
Blog This! BlogJet integrates with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers; FeedDemon, RSS Bandit, NewsGator and other news aggregators to enable you easily blog about the current web page or news items.
If you have no time to finish your post, just save it as a draft file on your computer, so that you would be able to continue writing at any time you like.
In addition, you can not only create new posts in BlogJet. The program also allows you to view and edit your previous posts.
Finally, support for secure data transmission based on the OpenSSL industry standard guarantees that the data you send by BlogJet is encrypted.

"RSS News Feeds are a breeze with NewzAlert Composer ... "
NewzAlert Composer is a comprehensive rss editor for creating and publishing RSS feeds, and it's all you need to get up and running with one or more RSS feeds of your own. It brings together the editing and publishing of all your RSS feeds into one convenient place on your desktop.
Built-in rapid data entry functionality makes entering information easy.
Auto-complete remembers the last 5 values entered into most fields, allowing you to quickly add topics with a minimum of typing. In addition to this, NewzAlert Composer gives you the ability to easily duplicate existing topics and copy topics between feeds,
RSS is fast becoming the standard for distributing information on the Internet. Email is quickly becoming an unreliable method of distributing newsletters and product and service information to customers. The main reasons for this are the large amounts of spam and viruses circulating, but also partly due to the spam filters built to solve the problem of spam. More and more legitimate email is not reaching its intended destination, and in a lot of cases, the sender is not even notified that the email hasn't been
delivered to the intended recipient.
NewzAlert Composer gets you up and running with your own RSS feeds within minutes.
Quickly and easily establish a medium for you to be able to :
- Notify your customers about product updates
- Announce company news
- Run promotions and specials
- Publish your thoughts and ideas in an ever expanding realm of RSS feeds
- Create feeds for podcasting and video
blogging.

Don't Get Lost in Information!
Computers today don't just compute: they store huge amounts of information of different types, in many different formats. Until now, your options for organizing and searching through all this data were limited. You store files in Windows folders, emails in email client folders. Newsgroups, RSS feeds, contacts, web bookmarks all require different programs. So does searching.
To avoid being lost in all that information and all those applications, you need one powerful tool that lets you organize and find information regardless of its type.
Omea Pro is a powerful universal client for aggregating and organizing all kinds of information: emails, files, web links, RSS feeds, newsgroups, tasks, contacts, and even custom resource types that you define.
Omea makes possible things that you simply can't do now!
- Put different kinds of resources all together in one folder: emails, files, web links, IM conversations, RSS posts, etc.
- Add your own textual notes to any resource
- Link emails, newsgroup messages to tasks
- Save interesting excerpts from web pages, documents, and messages, for further processing.
- Isolate groups of resources according to projects, activities, people, etc.
