Yesterday Brainjuice launched the public beta of Blogo, our new desktop blog editor. You can download the application from the Brainjuice hotsite with a simple registration (we kindly request your name and email before downloading).
Blogo will cost $25, and we'll be offering a 15-day trial for all users effective after the launch date.
Many thanks go out to our fantastic group of private beta testers, who helped us catch a bunch of bugs before releasing Blogo to the public.
We're hoping to get as much feedback as possible during this public beta period so that Blogo will be as polished as possible for our launch on December 6. To that end, we'll be offering a coupon for $5 off the purchase of a license to everyone who registers to download a copy of Blogo before the 6th.
What's that? You're not satisfied? Ok, fine. Anyone who purchases two licenses for Blogo will pick up a third on the house. No, this is not a holiday promotion. This is for keeps. Install Blogo on your grandparents' spare computer, or give your extra license to that someone special who's been putting off starting a blog.
Below, Blogo's tech specs:
Application: Blogo (beta) Developer: Brainjuice Type: Shareware (15-day trial) Price: $25 Requirements: Mac OS X version 10.4+ (Universal). Tested and working on Leopard ;) Blogs Supported: Typepad, Blogger, Wordpress, Typo and MoveableType.
Also feel free to check out our first review on Technovia, and also a mention on Mackinando (in Spanish). Long live the nerdy rabbit!
Brainjuice is an independent software house dedicated to the Mac OS and its users. It is the first of its kind in Brazil, and its mission is to improve the everyday experience of Mac users, solving common problems with attention to detail and good old-fashioned common sense.
We are obsessive about the small touches. We take pride in our interface design and the level of usability in our applications. And we prefer to keep our prices fair and have more people using our software. We have a suite of eight products in development, the first of which will be launched at the end of this month, acts of god notwithstanding.
Blogo, our first product, was an ambitious challenge: create a blog editor with universal support for WordPress, MoveableType, Blogger and others, making the blogging experience accessible to a larger audience while offering enough features to satisfy even long-time career bloggers. We believe that the act of blogging should be simple, intuitive and, above all, should not take longer than absolutely necessary.
The program was born out of frustration. We tried AJAX web interfaces. Widgets. ecto. MarsEdit. Nothing could convince us that a better way was impossible. So we created Blogo with all of the things we wanted to see in a desktop blog editor.
We'll be launching a public beta over the next couple of weeks. Visit Brainjuice to sign up, or leave a comment and we'll add you to the list.
