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!

Note that the views expressed on this site do not necessarily reflect those of Phil's employer, its business partners, its clients, or anyone or anything that doesn't come from Phil's demented imagination. Hell, to be perfectly honest, even Phil disagrees with what he thinks sometimes.

This site has virtually no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Clicking on a link doesn't automatically send a 1/2-cent donation to UNICEF. You can't buy, sell, auction, swap, find a date, win friends, influence people, cross the chasm, or decode the human genome using this site. You won't get free email. You won't win a free video game console. This site will not end world hunger, foster peace in the Middle East, help you smell better, teach you how to swing dance, or move the global economy from petroleum to hydrogen fuels. You'll learn a lot about this site's master, though, which amounts to a haphazard collection of strange and useless facts that pretty much won't help you at all.

Comments and trackbacks are unmoderated, though I will delete the patently offensive ones.

Any comments and trackbacks are the opinions of the individual writer of those comments and trackbacks, and not those of Phil Gomes, his employer, its clients, or its business partners. If you have a bone to pick, bug the people who wrote the comment or trackback.
