ecto3 alpha revealed

If you're a blogger, the chances are you've heard of ecto - the multi-platform-supporting blogging client for Mac OS X and Windows. Today, however, sees the unveiling of an entirely new, from-the-ground-up, re-write of the Mac OS X version of ecto in alpha form.

Apart from the shiny new icon (shown right) a new rich text editor that leverages the WebKit engine and a plugin-based architecture where "almost everything that can be powered by a plugin is a plugin." are amongst the gems found in this (feature incomplete) build. There's plenty more features still to come in future builds, but this looks like a very exciting, and free, upgrade to a long-established application.
