Trying out Deepest Sender

[minervasolo]

Having signed up for an insane journal account, so Ii can join one of the comms (OpenID is great, but it's not that great), I asked if anyone knew of a way of being able to post to al your journals without having to... actually, there isn't a 'without having to'. And I'll probably still use the webpage mostly anyway, since apart from lj I only use the other journals to comment on things. But someone recced Deepest Sender to me anyway, so I'm having a go. Quite impressed that it works with my blog as well as the lj clones, I have to admit. User interface is a bit bare, but you can do all the usual things with it.

I never understood why most people are so adverse to doing things actually online, like webmail, or updating lj. Everyone uses clients for everything.Thunderbird is slowly winning me over for rss feeds, but firefox won't actually talk to it so I've got to go through IE to get the links anyway, which seems daft. Even with this you've still got to log in and out, whereas tabbed browsing means I can post to every single journal all at once online.

So... yeah. This is nice, but it's going to be one of those addons I'll probably forget I have.

OK, revealing the depth of my stupid now, but you can get a client to upload to LJ? Whut? But there's a page where you type and do HTML and stuff...

I know, I never quite got it. I guess it's mainly for people with multiple journals (like thunderbird and outlok are for people with multiple emails). There used to be more perks to it, like spellcheck, but most of those are part of the web page anyway.

I get it for multiple journals that get the same content, but I don't get the unease about writing and editing content online. Maybe it's a hangover from pay-per-minute dialup days, where you only went online to actually post things (happened where I used to work).

Stupidly, I hadn't actually realised that Outlook could handle multiple email addresses :P

Edited because dur I cannot spell.

You might want to check out semagic (if you haven't already).
It seems to have all the bells and whistles.
