You can use Attensa feed readers with Window Live Writer to publish to Clearspace right now. Use the Metaweblog API in Live Writer.
Basically it works like this:
http://www.attensa.com/blogs/attensa/2007/09/publishing_to_roller_blogs_wit.php
Only instead of a Roller blog it's publishing to Clearspace
We are very, very close to supporting publishing to Clearspace directly from our feed readers. I saw it work right before my own eyes! Today...we're really close.
Here's where we are:
Auto-detection of Clearspace blogs is working when you configure Attensa to publish to Clearspace.
User gets lists of Clearspace blogs to select and publish to
Hitting the publish button in the Attensa toolbar posts the content to Clearspace
Things to do: clean-up Microsoft formatting debris in the published post.
I can set up with a pre-release version if you want. Send me an email: sniesen at attensa dot com
It's a great way to extend the publish/subscribe cycle.
Very interesting video. It seems that at some point the Attensa folks indicate that they are able to post back to clearspace blogs direct from Attensa newsreaders. This would be a phenomenal method of generating round trip attention focus. If they are indeed doing this it would be great to find out how. I don't believe their readers support metaweblog api and I don't see another way to do this.
Thanks,
