Make it free!
Tuesday, April 25, 2006
I never really agreed with bait and switch tactics, in particular the type used with SubEthaEdit from TheCodingMonkeys. I think it was a categorical mistake to release this application as freeware, wait for widespread adoption, and then suddenly pull the plug. It’s not right, fair or proper. Thanks to the people at MacZOT and thousands of bloggers around the globe though (including yours truly), TheCodingMonekys will once again license SSE for free, if only for one day. This is part of BLOGZOT 2.0 on MacZOT.com, a creative guerrilla marketing campaign to spread the word of various applicatiosn the website promotes. In all, MacZOT and TheCodingMonkeys will award $105,000 in Mac software. This isn’t as good as SSE being re-released as freeware, but this is as close we’ll get for a long time.
That aside, SubEthaEdit is a kick ass collaboration tool + text editor. It’s just that simple. You’re so going to want it… especially when it’s free.
