Corel’s WordPerfect Lightning Integrates with WordPress: Corel told Read/WriteWeb that “tens of thousands of people” have downloaded and tried WordPerfect Lightning so far. The impending update (which goes live tomorrow morning) will add integration with WordPress, enabling users to repurpose content for their blogs. Corel told us that with WordPress’ open SDK and strong support for images, it makes it easy for Lightning users to blog information they’ve collected. Lighning is a web and desktop content aggregator from Corel that was launched in February.
OS support?
Well, the WordPress support is minimal (there’s no ability to select categories, for instance), and the interface is clunky at best. Windows Live Writer is a far more flexible tool in some ways, and allows integration of all manner of media into a blog entry.
I agree, Geren… it’s one of the very rare MS products I actually like! 🙂
