Six Apart Announces “TypePad”

Yes­ter­day, Ben and Mena Trott, cre­ators of Mov­able­Type and prin­ci­pals of Six Apart, announced Type­Pad, a new centralized/hosted blog­ging tool, based on Mov­able­Type and its related technology/APIs.

The blog­ging com­mu­nity is mov­ing onward and upward — with Google’s high-profile pur­chase of Blog­ger, and now this next move by Six Apart (Ben and Mena have a few more items up their sleeves for the com­ing months with regards to Mov­able­Type Pro), blog­ging is tak­ing on a stronger stance in the web com­mu­nity at large. It’s not just for geeks any more (OK, so it hasn’t been “just for geeks” for a while now, but it sounded good).

Also, Mov­able­Type fans every­where will no longer be able to refer sim­ply to “Ben and Mena”, since Six Apart has offi­cially hired their first employee: Anil Dash. From now on (until the next employee, that is) it’s “Ben, Mena and Anil.”

Con­grats you guys! Keep up the good work!
