In seeming recognition of eager Moveable Type fans to get to posting in new ways on the go as soon as possible, Six Apart has today unveiled an iPhone-friendly version of its “Blog It” service, which it previously offered for Facebook users in April. The freshest release is called Blog It for iPhone. To access the service, just type the standard 'http://blogit.typepad.com/' URL into Safari Mobile and you'll be directed appropriately.
What’s bound to trigger the interest of many iPhone fans in the custom-crafted Blog It service is its multi-service utility. What does this mean? In addition to working with Movable Type, and Typepad’s Vox service, users can now post content to Blogger, Tumblr, Twitter, Jaiku, LiveJournal, FriendFeed, Facebook, Pownce, LiveJournal, Wordpress.com and WordPress.org. Quite comprehensive indeed.
What’s more, Blog It for iPhone has integrated OpenID login support, an increasingly requested feature for Web services of virtually all varieties. As David Recordon of Six Apart describes the build:
"Our designers worked hard to try to keep it simple so that even if you don't know what OpenID is you'll still be able to just login with your account from Yahoo!. This also means that once you've chosen to link your accounts together, all of your existing settings from Blog It for Facebook will automatically show up on your iPhone and any changes you make will be reflected no matter where you use Blog It."
