Whining. Oh look, Winer is quoted.
MT is in no danger.

I have to wonder what the surprise is all about. Google owns Blogger. Oh, that's right, I forgot - Google is The Company What Does No Wrong.

it's okay, I don't want that stupid toolbar anyway, they're being elitist ont he other side too by limiting it to IE.

Following this reasoning, google should also offer a search field for every other engine in their toolbar, just to keep it fair. Comeon, its the google toolbar for a reason.

Herm, toolbar for IE. Who the heck uses IE around here anyways? Dont we all use a browser that uses WC3 css standards? I think some skilled people should come up with a toolbar for opera and mozilla that has a moveable type "blogthis" option and a search box for alltheweb.com

Mozilla has a mult-site search bar add on and a blog tool add on that can work with both Blogger and MT sites

What, we can't have competition now? How is the BlogThis button in the Google toolbar unfair? It may suck, but it's hardly unfair.

To be clear (since I seem spectacularly incoherent in the linked article. "pound of flesh"? did i even say that?) we don't think it's unfair at all, and it's perfectly understandable and sensible for Google to include their blog tool in their toolbar. No biggie.

And to be fair, Anil and Dave wouldn't be doing their jobs properly if they didn't rattle their sabres a little at stuff like this. If it gets their tools placement on the Google toolbar, good on them.

Matt, your second link is bunk and I'm very intrigued!

Mr. Dash says, "To be clear"? I'm confused. Instead, do you mean, "to totally reverse my position"?

I criticize by creation -- not by finding fault.

Doesn't it make sense to have this tied to an open API that would tie into whatever CMS you wanted?
