MarsEdit acquired by Red Sweater Software
MarsEdit is my blogging client of choice. It is simple, straightforward, and streamlined (unlike Ecto, which I also use and enjoy). Today we found out that MarsEdit, formerly of Ranchero which itself was acquired by NewsGator, has been acquired by Red Sweater Software. This is good news for all MarsEdit uses since NewsGator is much more focused on NetNewsWire, and the future of MarsEdit didn't look too clear.Check out this Q&A with Brent Simmons, creator of MarsEdit, and Daniel Jalkut, the man behind the Red Sweater, for some insights into the future of MarsEdit.
Updates to MarsEdit 1.x will continue to be free for registered users, and new users can pick up a copy for $24.95.

As a registered MarsEdit customer, I'm thrilled at the possibility of significant updates. The Blogger (and Blogger beta) support has been pretty flaky lately.

It's a very good application and I use it quite a bit, so more frequent updates will be great.

MarsEdit's last update was just over a year ago, when it was made universal (and got some new features and bug fixes). But even a year is way too long, and this move is definitely a good thing.

I don't think MarsEdit has been updated in more than two years, so this has to be a good thing.
