I have been playing with typinator for about a month now, as I got it with a mac bundle, and love the auto correction, and the text snippets I have created so far save some time. I have been trying to get my Feedburner e-mail signature to work however, but I am a dolt I guess...Can't seem to get it to work. I have been trying to get my feedburner sig into gmail web interface, as I have it working in mail.app, but use the gmail interface often and want the consistency. Not trying to create a flame about HTML sigs here

So I did some googling, and found another app called textexpander that seems to do a better job with HTML. I have heard about it on a few mac podcasts, but what is your opinion on both?
Cheers,

Fwiw, for auto-correction and auto-input, TypeIt4Me is the original software of this kind (it appeared way back in the day... for OS 7.x iirc) and imo is the best of the bunch for that particular purpose. Typinator is quite lacking in comparison. However, I haven't used recent versions of TextExpander and I don't use any of them for html. Just another one to consider.
