Hey, what’s this, a conversation going on in my comments that I am not a part of?!

Thanks for all the suggestions chaps, will look into them in more detail!

I’m really enjoying Flock. I had tried earlier versions, but it grabbed too much memory. Now no problem on my super new iMac:-) Good on PCs too I gather. As always depends what you are trying to do, but del.icio.us favourites come up in the side bar, or Facebook friends, or feeds, or media. Clipboard doesn’t seem to grab links as it should.

… and if you are still with Flock you can try using Firefox add-ons with it, since it is built on FF

Don’t forget Scribefire for offline blog editing – we use it for xPRESS Digest on Mac and PC and it’s great and has improved over the last couple versions. I like the ability to repost an entry to all manner of different blog providers really quickly.

(I know you’ve got it on your list of Firefox add-ons but just in case you had forgotten it in your newly found Mac-ness!)

If you're looking for a powerful FTP editor, you should also try Yummy FTP. I much prefer it to Transmit, and it's way better than Fetch. If you prefer interface over functionality, though, or need Amazon S3 support, then Transmit is probably your best bet.

I don't know why I like using the desktop editor so much. Strange really, in the world of always on internet! Am giving Flock a go, because it might answer my feed reading and bog posting issues in one go! Will have a look at Snapz if Skitch (where do they get these names?! Ah yes) doesn't do the business.

Offline blog editor – I find ecto the best, but use 2.4.2 not 3 in beta. Marsedit good if you are happy to see/add some html. Qmana development for Mac seems stalled.
