Six Apart created Moveable Type and TypePad, and bought LiveJournal. Now it's "working on a new product, codenamed Comet, that will start beta testing this quarter," according to co-founder Mena Trott, talking to BusinessWeek Online reporter Reena Jana. There are edited excerpts from their conversation here. Mena says:
Most people think of blogs as being primarily political or tech-focused. To most people, the important things they want to learn about have to do with people they know. So I think personal blogs are really the future, and with that comes a challenge for blogs to be more friendly and welcoming.
Also, blogs are all about capturing and preserving information about our lives. And that makes me think of what might be the biggest future blog-design challenge: How do we design blogs that will archive and present 20 years worth of content?
