A couple of months ago, the Basecamp guys launched Hey.com and Hey World to bring a new email and blogging experience into the mix.
Hey World lets you write blog posts straight from your Hey.com inbox which show up on https://world.hey.com. Neat!
The Good:
* People love the friction free blogging experience of Hey World
* to use Hey World, you need a Hey.com account.
* your email address is visible to everyone because your posts sit on https://world.hey.com/<your-email-address>!
* you can't host the Hey World blog on your own domain (yet)
I built https://moogle.cc which lets you write and post to your blog from Gmail.
Posting to your blog hosted as a subdomain of moogle is free. If you want to host your blog on your own domain, it is $5/month.
You can sign up for a free Moogle blog @ https://moogle.cc/account and start posting in minutes
