A Cup of Coffee and the Future of Blogging

Grab a cup of coffee, and let's talk about the future of blogging.

I know, big term , sort of scary...no one likes change very much. I always  usually resist change, but this one I think I like. At least so far.

A  few days ago, Six Apart, the company responsible for Typepad (the platform which my blogs are currently living on)  and Movable Type, released an update to Movable Type, and introduced Movable Type Pro.

With that introduction, they also took a giant step forward in to the future of blogging.

Although blogging has always been a social medium, with the introduction of MT Pro, it now has the capability of becoming so much more.

This is the big deal -from the MT blog:

Movable Type Pro lets you turn any site into a full social publishing platform, combining all of Movable Type's abilities as a blogging and CMS with social networking features like profiles, ratings, user registration, forums, following, and more.
