Chartsmith becomes first LinkBack Enabled Application
Congratulations to Tony and everyone else at Blacksmith! They are the reason we announced LinkBack this last month.
Reston, Virginia — April 1, 2005 — Blacksmith announced today, that Chartsmith v1.2.8 is the first shipping application to support LinkBack, the new technology that brings embedded objects to Mac OS X. With LinkBack, users can paste charts from Chartsmith into LinkBack-enabled applications and then edit the chart at any time with just a double-click. Users can take advantage of the new functionality right away using a plugin that adds LinkBack support to Apple’s Keynote. Chartsmith will also be usable with future versions of Nisus Writer Express, OmniGraffle, Omni Outliner, Stone Create and several other applications that will also include LinkBack support.
For more information on LinkBack and other applications that implement this technology see www.linkbackproject.org.

Chartsmith represents the first of many commercial software products that Blacksmith plans for the Mac OS X and Web Object markets.

Congratulations, Tony! Thankfully, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke. I hope this is the start of a long line-up of apps with LinkBack support!

Great job Tony! I wanted to wait until there was one other awesome LinkBack app before shipping Create (and I have a thing about not shipping on April Fool’s Day!).
