Please create better tools for posting

I think Ping.fm needs better desktop tools for posting from the major OSes, not just web tools like iGoogle gadgets and AIM bots. It would also really help if these tools are home-grown and maintained, and not just encouraged out of the third-party community. Third parties inevitably never receive any gratitude for their time, so the tool languishes while the service moves on with new features and updated APIs.

Browser windows are fun and all, but tools like Dashboard widgets and menubar apps for Mac OS X, as well as System Tray utilities for Windows, which can be called with keyboard shortcuts and integrated into other desktop software, are much more useful for interacting with services like Ping.fm.
