Six Apart Comments on Blogging Software

May 18th, 2005

I just read a pretty good article written about six apart also know as moveabletype. It looks like they are moving in the right direction. But they had some interesting comments in the article

They mentioned Wordpress, “Critics of Six Apart say that WordPress, a blog publishing platform developed by a grassroots team, is more robust than Movable Type. WordPress is also open source and free”.

They also mention Google, “For LiveJournal and TypePad, the biggest competition is Google’s Blogger, a highly popular free offering that’s badly in need of some usability improvements and network upgrades”.

I am not sure I can agree with both of these comments. First I think Wordpress is the best and I did make the switch from moveabletype to wordpress, and I love it. For the blogger comment, I highly disagree. For the start they have been one of the best and easiest to use. I’m pretty sure six apart will get some flack for this comment.
