Gmail hacks, aren't they wonderful? Here's another
one:
Gallina, a Gmail-based blogging system. It's very
clearly labeled a "proof of concept," and as we all know, Google owns Blogger, so why use Gmail for blogging?
I don't know, but it's a cool thing anyhow. You use Gmail messages as entries, and use the stars to set publish status.
Any replies to the message show up as comments. And it supports images and comments via web. So yeah, that's about it.
For some reason this seems like a much better thing than Blogger, at least for the rapid-fire instapublishing sprinting
marathon that has become the blogosphere. All you need is a little time and php to get it running, so give it a try and
see what you think. Here's a demo. Now all we need is Google to break it!
