Blogging at the Speed of Thought

I can’t wait to try this out. WordPress is upping the game in the world of blogging to compete with Twitter. I myself have been blogging less of late, as I spread most of my content out through my Twitter stream. However, I think enhancements to blogging platforms such as P2 might be a good way to bring the masses back to blogging.

Hello P2! I’ve missed blogging and it’s good to be back!

Here’s the overview of what’s new in P2:

  • Threaded comment display on the front page.
  • In-line editing for posts and comments.
  • Live tag suggestion based on previously used tags.
  • A show/hide feature for comments, to keep things tidy.
  • Real-time notifications when a new comment or update is posted. (If you have a Mac, you know what we mean when we say it’s Growl-like.)
  • Super-handy keyboard shortcuts: c to compose a new post; j to go to the next item; k to go to the previous item; r to reply; e to edit; o to show and hide comments; t to go to the top; esc to cancel.
  • Helvetica Neue for you modern font lovers.
  • Plus more to come! Keep an eye on the news blog for updates.
