Profy’s review, in particular, brought up a lot of great points I’ll address in future blog posts (it’s 1am, I’m tired ;)) but one thing they both mentioned, was the lack of an OpenID login on ShiftEdit.

ShiftEdit was built from the ground up to making live blogging as fast and easy as possible. We've done the Wordpress edit/save/edit/save/edit/save many times ;) We went back to basics with the interface, trying to create something where you can quickly throw your points online, and refine them as you go (it's not really obvious yet, but there's WYSIWYG editing on your entries as well). We've also been the end-users watching a keynote liveblog going F5/F5/F5/F5 and complaining that the entries are newest-to-oldest, or oldest-to-newest. So we tried to solve that too. Over the next month, there will be lots of changes to ShiftEdit. We are moving onto a grid server architecture to scale our server-load on-demand, releasing a full-skinnable embedding feature (as you already saw ;)), and releasing a white label level of service. We're very excited to be in the space, and I hope you see a lot more of us in the months to come. In the time-being, please keep the comments coming. We'll have OpenID login ready for you this week ;) Cheers, Jonathan Thanks for the review, Cyndy! ShiftEdit was built from the ground up to making live blogging as fast and easy as possible.

I had originally intended to talk about Cover It Live when reviewing Shift Edit and then completely forgot about it when I actually wrote this. I will update it today to explain.
