You may have read quite a few praises about Telligent's soon-to-be-new product, Graffiti , recently - especially from me and fellow Telligenti . If you've been following along you'll agree that a lot of it sounds something like this: "I converted my blog to Graffiti", "This blog is now running on Graffiti", and "Down with Wordpress, up with Graffiti". Well, maybe not that last one, I threw that one in to see if you were paying attention. Anyway, based on all of the blog talk you might mistakenly...

I mentioned in my last post that a private beta for Graffiti would be available soon. As my comrade Jayme stated, "So much for 'private' beta - get it now at graffiticms.com !"
