<x-charset iso-8859-1>I like Radio Userland because of all the things UserTalk and the
object database can do, but I don't have much use for the things RU
makes easy, such as the weblogging interface.
Dealing with hard-coded HTML inside macros is no fun. Dave's "five
minutes to your first post" is good for a novice weblogger, as long
as you're willing to use existing themes and the user interface and
features of every other RU weblog. The only reason I would adopt
Userland's weblogging software is because of the discussion board
supported by Manila, but that requires either a free service that
wants to get out of that business (EditThisPage) or another paid Web
account. I also get the impression that Frontier and RU have run into
scaling issues when a discussion board has thousands of messages.
The success of Radio Userland shows that people are looking for
personal content management and publishing systems that are more
sophisticated than web services like Blogger. What else is out there
in this category, other than CityDesk?
