About this blog
The rise of mass media in the last half of the 20th Century turned us all into "consumers" and took away much of the natural human inclination to be creators, performers, singers, musicians and storytellers.
Today, the rapid proliferation of cheap professional-quality media-making tools, paired with the drastic decrease in the cost of content distribution is leading to a quiet, but quite real revolution in the quantity and quality of "amateur" content. It's the democratization of media, the "Big Flip" as Clay Shirky calls it, and we think it's going to play an increasingly important role in how we make, share and consume media. For more, read my introduction to Amateur Hour.

There is some integration already, and free image hosting for Blogger users. You can click and drag a photo to the BloggerBot pane, add a caption, and click a button to create a Blogger post automatically. I've been using it on my blog, and it is very convenient. It will automatically resize the pictures to a small size for the body of the post and a larger size for when you click on the picture. Here is the explanation:

And as an example, here is a post I created using BloggerBot:
http://ironmonkey.blogspot.com/2004/07/red-day-lily.html
By default, it will create a link to the "hello" site at the end of the post, but this is configurable.

Why google had to buy it off other company instead of developing something similar by itself?
