Free access to Britannica for web publishers
Apr 20th
Congratulations: as a Web publisher you’ve been approved for complimentary access to Britannica Online. This message contains the information you’ll need to sign up for your free one-year subscription to our Web site, which includes the entire Encyclopædia Britannica as well as many other sources of information and rich multimedia.
As you can see, Britannica Encyclopedia offers free access to bloggers, web publishers, etc.
You can also embed content on your website. I think this will be some great news for my colleagues at www.descopera.ro.
Here’s some information about our future doggie – Chewbacka 
Later edit: the embedding does not work as expected. Apparently you cannot embed a specific article, but only topics. For example, I wanted to display an article about Golden Retrievers above, but i just got a general Dogs widget. Bummer!

Having an offline piece of software that enables you to write posts offline is something pretty cool and I’ve often found myself writing posts in notepad, even if I’m 90% of the time online. Why? Because you could write 1/2 hour or more in a online textarea and then submit your post online only to see an error page that nicely tells you that for some mystic reason, you lost your post or the page cannot load or something like that.
My first impression is pretty cool – nice efficient spelling check, all the much needed plugins to insert media to your post – images, videos, even live.com maps, technocrati tags and so on. I’ll write more about this tool once I get to know it and find if it’s really what they advertise it is. Until then here’s a little snapshot of the tool, just to test it’s upload feature
