Daniel Jalkut is reminiscing about taking over MarsEdit:
A little more than two years ago, Brent Simmons came to me with an intriguing proposition. Would I be willing to talk with NewsGator about the possibility of taking over MarsEdit, the desktop blog editing software Brent had developed as an adjunct to his RSS feed reader, NetNewsWire.
My answer was about as close to “hell, yes!” as one can get in a business context without appearing completely cavalier and freewheeling. I got in touch with the folks at NewsGator, who were as forthcoming and friendly as anybody could hope for. Within a few short weeks we had ironed out a deal and agreed that MarsEdit would become a property of Red Sweater Software.
MarsEdit is one app I use every day, and one without which I could not be half as productive.
Granted, there is functionality I’d love to see — like being able to add meta information in some themes — but for the most part it is the best blogging software available for a Mac.
