NTT's Typepad powered blogging service

Here it is, and it looks great even though I do not understand Japanese. NTT is providing blogs to their millions of clients. Congratulations to Six Apart's team in Japan. Can't wait to see our first Typepad powered ISP & portals partnerships in Europe ! [Loic Le Meur Blog]

I need to put something witty here for my friend Loic.

How 'bout "Yes, we all want to see coming out of France, besides Wine and Cheese."

SixApart to buy LiveJournal?

SixApart to buy LiveJournal? 01/05/2005 01:19 PM

Tha t is big news. I did not realize that LiveJournal.com, a blogging service with 5.5 million bloggers, is based on open source software. It will be interesting to see how this develops. Will SixApart work to foster the continued development of the open source LiveJournal software or will it instead focus harvesting paying users for it's TypePad service?

Assuming that Om's story is right, LiveJournal will soon become part of the growing SixApart family. I'm not sure what you guys are planning, but it sure will be interesting to watch. 2005 is going to be a very interesting year for this whole blogging thing....

Xeni Jardin: There are rumors on the internets that Six Apart just bought / is buying / will soon buy LiveJournal. Details as they come.

Update: Om Malik has more:

Six Apart, the parent company behind hosted blogging service TypePad, and Moveable Type is about to acquire Live Journal, for an undisclosed amount. The deal is a mix of stock and cash, and could be announced sometime later this month, according to those close to the two companies. If the deal goes through, then Six Apart will become one of the largest weblog companies in the world, with nearly 6.5 million users. It also gives the company a very fighting chance against Google’s Blogger and Microsoft’s MSN Spaces.

Mena Trott steps down as SixApart CEO

Mena Trott steps down as SixApart CEO 07/14/2004 03:38 PM
Mena Trott has stepped down as CEO of SixApart, makers of Movable Type and TypePad, in favour of Barak Berkowitz, one of their Series A investors. Mena's written a heartfelt appreciation of Barak that is an instant classic -- a unique example of a company founder's sincere desire to see her efforts bear fruit, even if she's not's in charge any longer (though she's staying on as President).

At our office, we had phone cables running up and down walls and doorframes and across the floor. This mess was around for months until one day Barak came to work with a T-shirt, some tool-belt type thing and some device to do phone wiring. During the course of the afternoon, Barak installed our phone lines and cleaned up the office.

Incidentally, while he was doing this, Maile, our administrative assistant came in for her first interview with us and saw Barak. A week or two later when we called her in for a second interview I asked that she speak with Barak so that he could interview her as well. After we hired Maile and explained who Barak was she laughed and said "Oh, I thought he was the handyman and that this company really liked to get everyone involved!"

SixApart 09/21/2004 01:02 AM
First of all, thank you, Anil Dash, for your patience and willingness to engage in conversation with critics and fans alike. I would also like to agree with you about tone, and to note that I did not help matters with the titles of some of my earlier posts. I think my criticisms were valid, but the tone of some of the titles was uncalled for and unhelpful. Second, I can't believe you have asked me to post more feedback, and are getting me to spend another 2 hours of my life writing about MovableType, something I just said I wouldn't do again. Some would accuse you of feeding a troll, and friends have asked me why I spend so much time worrying about one Weblog / lightweight Content Management System vendor (it's 'cause I like y'all). As I said earlier, we all do have more important things to do. But you (and the Wall Street Journal) asked, so I will try to be brief, constructive and final. Where I am today with respect to recommending SixApart products: I would recommend Typepad to a non-technical person who was trying to start a blog, if they had some aesthetic sensibilities and weren't too price sensitive. Presuming that SixApart can keep up with growth and minimize downtime, it's a nice product, reasonably priced and segmented, and the grouping on Typepad give the author a decent chance of attracting a readership. SixApart does also seem to be adding features to Typepad at a reasonable pace. If someone was price sensitive, I'd send them to Blogger. Blogger's hosting issues seem to be a thing of the past, there are now some nice templates for it, and there are still smart people outside Blogger doing cool things for Blogger. Plus it is free. It is hard for SixApart being in a consumer business where so many of their competitors are giving away their product for free. Maybe it makes sense for SixApart to do B2B only? See below. I would recommend Movable Type for a institution or business wanting to host a corporate blog that didn't have a lot of internal technical expertise. There is good documentation, nice templates, and good support. I don't know if SixApart permits it, but if it does I would recommend that the business start with 2.661 and let the dust settle on 3.x before upgrading. Depending on what the...

Congrats to Loic & Geraldine and Mena & Ben.

I too have started a company with my wife - in fact both wives.

OK - so maybe I didn't stay married as long as Loic - but I am just an enthusiastic as he is.
