Six Apart announces Comet, which at this early stage is hard to define exactly, but seems to be some kind of overall repositioning/refocus of their existing products toward consumer user-friendliness.

IMO, blog tools are still in the Blogger generation (although I might be the only one who thinks that at this point).
