Ben Hammersley's gone and dug up a very interesting story for us during his travels in California: the people behind Movable Type, the popular weblog builder, are about to take aim at Blogger in a big way. They plan to create an easier to use, hosted version of their sophisticated software, meaning even dunces like me should be able to use it. Ben's taken a look at the software, called Typepad, and is impressed.
This, of course, could have big implications for Blogger. It's the market leader, but has failed to develop much since launching the Blogger Pro service early last year. More than a few users - including me, I must say - would be tempted by the thought of moving across to the pretty funky MT platform...
Mena Trott, one half of the husband and wife team behind MT, has (needless to say) just blogged her thoughts on their big announcement.
