Innovation in the blog publishing tool space has been a bit slow lately if you ask me. Self tagging for tools like Technorati, and a re-emergence of link blogging, energized by Web based tools like del.icio.us are about the extent of the excitement. Correct me if I'm wrong oh loyal readers.
SixApart, which had a big hand in launching a couple of the last Big Things (TM) is making noises as if it wants to strike gold a second time with Planet Comet, detailed a bit more in this press release and by Richard Macmanus on his Web 2.0 ZDNet blog.
From the screen captures though, I'm hard pressed to see anything really spanking new. A lot of the photo sharing sites, e.g. Fotki are starting to morph and integrate much of what I can see of Project Comet.
