DISQUS

And now I've just made a stupid ass out of myself. Sorry. :)

Your CMS looks a bit spartan. :) Most of the modern systems take care of the miscellaneous stuff like managing drafts, publishing to site, generating RSS feed, and posting to Twitter, Facebook, Digg, and other social networks.

Have a look at WordPress, for example. You'll have not three, but two buttons - Save and Publish. And you'll have lots of control over what you want your CMS to do when you push either one of them.

Delicious does it for me. I started using it back when it came out and made a mess out of it. Then, because of a mess, I thought that it wasn't all that good, so I moved to alternatives - anything from browser bookmarks to Digg and Google Notes. Eventually, I came back to Delicious, sorted out my bookmarks, cleaned up my tags, brushed up my network, and now I am a happy man. I don't think I'll be moving anywhere else any time soon.

Tony,

you don't sound like a very social person (in the digital sense of the word). Otherwise you'd mention what were your choices for Flickr, del.icio.us, and Upcoming.

1. Readability. This is mostly for the selection of fonts, sizes, colors, backgrounds, line and paragraphs spacing, and things like that.

2. Support for plenty of in-post formatting - images, nested quotes, bold, links, pre/code blocks and stuff like that.

3. Support for widgets and plugins out of the box. FlickrRSS, del.icio.us stuff, ShareThis, Google Adsense, Google Analytics, etc. The less I need to do and the more things work out of the box, the better. Famous "Cutline" theme has some nice implementations, including a custom.css support for easier upgrades.

4. SEO.

5. AJAX goodies - they look and feel so good, when done right... :)

That's about it...

Good job!

Two suggestions:

<ol>
<li>

Make the page selection a dropdown with available pages, not a textfield. Similar to the way the Page Parent is selected.

</li>
<li>

Make the plugin work with posts too.

</li>
</ol>

With the above to points implemented, it'll be a killer plugin for all of us having (or thinking about having) blogs in multiple languages. :)

I've heard a few good reviews about JungleDisk - http://jungledisk.com/

You aren't very fair there on the "Cons" side. Here are just a few for you to consider:

- Privacy and security. If you choose to use Google Apps for your startup, all you data - emails, meetings, docs - will be stored on the servers that you don't have any control over.

- Flexibility. Google Apps, as any other application, impose certain business logic on the way you do things. Email filtering, for example, can be much better configured on the servers you have shell/procmail access to.

- Extra bandwidth. Sending files and messages back and forth seems like an overhead when communicating within the office.

While Google Apps are an excellent set of tools (I know, because I use them for my startup), they do have their own set of cons, as any other system.

Additionally, I always keep confusing myself with single/plural forms. Should I mark tag this picture at Flickr as "car" or "cars", "sport" or "sports"? I keep thinking differently depending on the time of day. My del.icio.us tag cloud is full of things like "tag", "tags", and "tagging" ("feed", "feeds", "rss", "atom", "syndication", "aggregation")...

It would be nice to have links to the services that you describe. Googling them is easy, but clicking links on this page would have been much easier. Thanks for review. :)
