Just pushed the beta of our blogging tool. Lizzer is a bookmarklet app that helps users insert content into most web-based blogs or email clients. You can demo the functionality on the home page.

hmm, DNS might still be switching over. I can see it here. Sorry, might have jumped the gun posting before it had time to propagate.

The first impression of the service and the site in general is good.

But I'm not really happy with the registration. Why do I need to sign up? Didn't I just use the service on the website? I don't want to customize it, just give me the bookmarklet with some default services.

Anyway, I signed up 10 minutes ago and am still waiting for the e-mail with the activation link.

Thanks.

Yeah, I know registering is a pain but once you log in you'll see that the app integrates with your accounts on Flickr, Youtube and DocStoc etc. That info is never passed down to the bookmarklet and the jsonp exchange is handle securely through our server. So registering is a necessity.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into creating a version that can be installed without registration.

Thanks

It ssems a little mad to use the New Yorker font, or a font that is so strongly reminiscent of the New Yorker.
