OK I actually used a bunch of the customizing tools. They are basically same you find on most Korean blog systems...with is to say 100x more (and better) than anything you find on Blogger or other English based popular blog systems. Plus, it has all the customization setting and options one would need (including CSS customizations).
So, if one did a 1-to-1 "out-the-box" comparison to other blog systems. Its a hands-down win for Textcube. There a mindbloggling number of features, default templates and customization options that anyone but the hardcore DYI blogger would be more than happy with. And now Google integration give it legs. I doubt you'll ever see a more jam-packed blog tool by default (which is actually typical for Korean systems).
Korean system tend to be the ultimate, "pre-packed" system as opposed to the Wordpress "yah, there's a plug-in for that" type envirorment (or similar open developer supported communities).
That said, there is an API now (I assume that's thanks to Google), so maybe we will eventually see some cool plug-ins as well... not that you'd really need them though. 95% of the people get everything they need right from the get-go.
No English version yet (not sure why...it'd be so easy to do). But eitherway, I really can't wait till they start bringing this to the "West".
There is the issue of its "SEO"essness... but I'll get into that in another post...
more testing!
