Six Apart has announced the launch of its TypePad Micro blogging service. This is aimed at the people who are passionate about blogging.
Six Apart's TypePad Micro has been made free to the users.
Six Apart’s CEO Chris Alden said, “TypePad Micro is meant for quick, brief, informal blogging and photoblogging–the kind of stuff that feels like a cross between traditional blogging and status updates a la Twitter. It’s a hybrid that’s associated with Tumblr, the service that popularized microblogging, and TypePad Micro’s most obvious rival.”
According to Alden, TypePad Micro will appeal both to paying TypePad customers as well as those people who remain associated with TypePad blog communities.
The company has said that Micro is a reduced-feature version of TypePad Pro service. It is featured with a theme called Chrome, which allows the users to customize its colours. However, the company has said that there is no plan to put ads on that service.
Apart from that, TypePad has the Twitter feature where the follower is displayed in the Chrome theme. The company is also planning to put more themes to woo the customers.
