read more..]]> SixApartSixApart, creators of TypePad and Moveable Type have recently announced that they are opening up some of their technologies for use directly with WordPress.  Whether an attempt at making nice or concedeing to the more widely used blogging platform may yet to be seen.

The news came during this years WordCamp Mid-Atlantic and was a bit of shock to some.  Anil Dash, co-founder of SixApart made the announcement during his keynote at the conference.

Four major technologies that SixApart had reserved for Moveable Type and TypePad users are now available for WordPress as well.

  • TypePad Connect – The social connecting technology from SixApart can be integrated with WordPress now.
  • TypePad Anti-Spam – Available as a plugin, TypePad Anti-Spam may give Akismet a run for its money.
  • SixApart Media – SixAparts answer to the advertising issues plaguing others.  Works similar to ClickBank.
  • Blogs.com – Blog submission and search site.

Whether this may mean the end of continued work with Moveable Type or TypePad may yet to be seen.  But one thing is for sure…open source is changing still and with the still limping economy SixApart seems to realize that being even more open may be what saves some from ultimate downfall.
