One thing that I forgot to blog about a couple of weeks ago was the public release of the TypePad platform and APIs. The new platform is a continuation of TypePad’s development of helpful community tools. Its TypePad Motion, an open source microblogging app, is already gaining popularity.

Since its inception in 2003, TypePad and Movable Type have been partner platforms that have also been developed side by side. The new TypePad platform will mean that users of Movable Type and its developers will find it easier to use the new features and the infrastructure that has been significantly improved.

The developer community can develop for TypPad using the TypePad APIs.
