ANOTHER BLOGGING TOOL REFOCUSES ON CUSTOMERS
We heard from Movable Type, Trellix and Radio Userland

I don’t use Blogger, but… I think it’s important that Blogger users read Ev’s most recent entry at status.blogger.com. A couple of excerpts:

Sometime later this month, the first public, large-scale, non-Pyra-run installation of Blogger will go live. It’s a unique partnership/licensing deal that we’ve been working on for a few months. So, we’ve got an all-new and improved base on which we want to actually invest (and that was written by people currently working for the company). That’s huge. Besides Rudy and myself, there are currently four other people spending most or all of their work time on Pyra stuff.
So our plan, if you were wondering our plan, is to improve our current stuff and build more useful services and tools that you will like and some of which you’ll pay for. We hope.

Required reading not only for Blogger users, but people keeping an eye on whether the free really is ending, not to mention where this whole bloggerama thing is going. [leuschke.org]
