Noovo.us is suspicisouly similar product to scrap blog where you can create “good looking” webpages in a desktop app enviroment.

So why isn’t this taking the world by storm?  Well they have failed in one major area - the web pages you build can only be viewed in Internet Explorer.  I also have a another issue with the app, it pre-loads the page using a “loading” message.  This is not only annyoing but I bet it doesnt do any favors for SEO.

So I guess i’m just going to have to wait until Scrapblog comes out of private beta.
