Nisus Software, The Omni Group, and Blacksmith announced LinkBack, a new technology that brings embedded objects to the Mac OS X platform. LinkBack makes it possible to edit text or graphics pasted from another application by double-clicking on it. The technology will be included in future releases of Nisus Writer Express, OmniOutliner, OmniGraffle, and Chartsmith. It is also available today as an open source framework for use by other Mac developers at http://www.linkbackproject.org.

Great!!!

Seth is working on a new feature for Conversant's weblog that's very cool. Basically, all you'll have to do (assuming you're using Conversant, of course) is to click on a link that will install a Javascript bookmarklet in whatever browser you happen to be using. After that, when you want to post a new story to your weblog, just select some text in a web page and click on this bookmarklet. A small window containing a form will then open, with most fields already set by default, based on the front page in your browser and the text you selected.

It's still a work in progress, but it's coming up pretty nicely! (that message was posted from the bookmarklet)
