I remember a couple of years ago at WWDC, Apple was talking quite a bit about their APIs for integrating with .Mac. They really wanted developers to use those APIs. And yet when iLife '05 and iWork '05 came out, there was nothing. It really surprised me.

Sounds like it just took an extra year...

I think this will be an apple style blogging tool.

iWeb sounds intriguing. I bought RapidWeaver last week and it's a lot like what you describe, including .mac integration, iPhoto integration, iApp look-and-feel, photoalbums. RapidWeaver costs $35, in the price range of an iLife app, and, although its a mini web site creation tool, its aimed at single authored sites.

An iWeb product would be greatly enhanced if Pages had serious web export capabilities. Pages will either be dropped (unlikely) or enhanced. It currently supports things like inline movies and tunes, but these are sort of stupid -- why would you put a movie in a pages document if you could only share it with other pages' users? But, this makes a lot more sense if Pages could export these to a webpage with elegant formating.

I'm really curious to see what Apple has up its sleeve.
