Announcing the TypePad Platform

This morning we announced the public release of the TypePad Platform and APIs, which we hope will inspire a new generation of community tools such as TypePad Motion, a new open source microblogging application available today. You can  try TypePad Motion out for yourself or  go get the code and API access right now.

As of today, the opening of the TypePad Platform  means that Movable Type users and developers will be able to more easily take advantage of the new features and infrastructure improvements we're making to Typepad all the time.

We're excited to see the kinds of apps the community will develop using the TypePad APIs,  and we look forward to getting your feedback. Six Apart CEO Chris Alden posted about the significance of the TyepPad Platform  on the Six Apart blog today. Please have a look at his post for for a sense of his vision for Six Apart and for more detail about the Platform, the Developer Program, and TypePad Motion.

Great to see Six Apart continuing its development and enhancements of MT! We're beginning a new development project today (coincidentally) on MT that should bring completely new capabilities to association management system applications. Today's announcement reinforces our selection of MT as a strong and robust platform.

Great to learn this. Let us know who you are so we can be in touch. You can send a note to mtblogs at sixapart dot com if you don't want the world to know.

Thanks for acknowledgment - not sure why first comment came through as anonymous...
