There seems to be a lot of intrest in the the Radio Bloggertool, thanks Dave for the the traffic ;-)  Dries asks: Have you looked ar Drupal as a collaborative weblogging tool ? I think i have to clarify some things on the Groove Bloggingtool that Tim built . The main idea behind this experiments is not to create a new collaborative weblogging tool but to investigate simple solutions to publish selective content from a Groovespace you would like to make available to a broader audience. Every tool made for Groove is per definition a collaborative tool and this blogging tool is no exception. It's a nice gimmick that it supports realtime collaborative blogging, i see you typing and can add or edit your words before we decide to hit post but what's more interesting is that it provides an easy way to publicly share the data you want to share from within the Groovespace like news, decisions made, important dates and events or reports of the usage of the particular space. People could check the weblog before joining or subscribe to the RSS feed to keep informed of the progress made in a space without ever joining it. Lots of possibilities and scenarios are possible here.  btw: If want to take the Radio tool for a spin stay tuned. Tim is doing some refining on the tool and the Radio version will be publicly available very soon (much more basic bloggertool is allready available)
