Thursday, August 07, 2003TypePad is a wonderful idea whose time has finally come. UserLand started this with the right idea some time ago, but couldn't make a go of it. Now that the rest of the world is ready, Ben and Mena of Six Apart, developer of Movable Type, have rolled out TypePad.
I was ready to purchase the service, but I stopped to take an inventory of my blogging self. I have a server-based weblog product. It has multiple categories, scripting, automation, no recurring fees, supports multiple standards and is frequently updated and fixed.
I'm sticking with Radio, and I'm ready to evaluate Frontier and Manila. I want to create websites, give 'blog space to friends (through Manilla) and have a place to experiment and evangelize RSS and weblogs.
[house of warwick]I'll second that!

Linkfilter, an occasional source of MetaFilter material, takes community weblogging to a new level, granting experience points for participation and requiring contribution points to "keep one user from hogging the whole site on any given day." [MetaFilter]

Publishers take note: You will not pollute my aggregator and remain on my source list. There is a boundary of decorum you should not cross. When I see an interesting article I will go to your site and read it, seeing your ads. It is sufficient that you do not put the full text of your articles into the RSS feed. That will draw me to the site and the ads if I choose to read it.
To subject me to a litany of ads to read your headlines and single-sentence intro is absurd. I refuse to participate. F**k You Very Much. Strong letter to follow. [b.cognosco]
Yep, as inevitable as advertising in RSS may be... there is a limit.
