Tinderbox is an application that I’ve been experimenting with on and off for the last two years. They have a couple of templates and now provide a wizard to help beginners build a weblog with. However, it is more of a extensible note-taking/making tool that is able to generate weblogs. It’s also able to do a whole lot more. Part of the learning curve that beginners have to get over is because of this. If I could use personal equipment at work, I would use Tinderbox to organize the various emails, tasks, issues, bugs and ideas that I go through. One thing it’s lacking is any form of comment feature which makes it slightly less superior as a collabrative tool. Tinderbox can be combined with MovableType, WordPress, Blogger or Radio Userland to get over this limitation though.
