TypePad is here

Type­Pad News: Reg­is­tra­tion opens August 4th.. While not hav­ing tested it myself, I’m con­fi­dent that Type­Pad will prove to be way cool. I’ve been more than happy with Mov­able­Type and think a feature-rich, hosted solu­tion is just what we need. While well-documented and not that hard to set up, quite some peo­ple still won’t be able to set up any­thing harder than Blog­ger. Which is great too, but lacks some of the fea­tures I value the most. So I’ll be look­ing for­ward to watch the impact on the gen­eral feature-level in the blog­ging com­mu­nity, includ­ing moblogs — it’s all in there, all you have to do is sign up, and you’re all set. As men­tioned in a pre­vi­ous post, they’re doing all this stan­dard com­pli­ant, which is neat too. It’ll be inter­est­ing to see, how fea­tures will spread between Mov­able­Type and TypePad.
