Blog Business Summit: Six Apart Launches Moveable Type v3.2
Blog Business Summit: Six Apart Launches Moveable Type v3.2
Anil Dash of Six Apart introduced Moveable Type v3.2 after lunch. (For the record, I started this post before the promised feebie.)
There appears to be a pretty easy migration path: one-click upgrade. But the coolest thing is their response to comment/trackback spam.
There's a new junk folder automatically filters potential spam, such that you can retrieve falsely flagged contributions from your online community. (As an entertaining example, Mr. Dash pointed out that a comment with the word "specialist" would otherwise be killed-on-sight because the system would see that the word "cialis" is in the middle.) The remaining items left in the folder are deleted after a certain period. This feature drew applause from some of the attendees.
The user manual "learns" from the MT community's comments and even prints on demand. Thanks to a partnership with Qoop, you can order a manual and it will incorporate the very latest MT community learning up until that point. Nice touch.
Congrats to the Six Apart team!
