First good look at TypePad

Six Apart has posted some screenshots and a small list of frequently asked questions about their upcoming TypePad service. Looks like we finally have a weblog service that’s easy enough for beginners to use but powerful & flexible enough for power users. Once TypePad launches, Google will have their work cut out for them in trying to catch up with Blogger and Blog*Spot. (And actually, I don’t think Google much cares about weblogging software…they’re much more interested in the search component, how to help people find information on blogs. Plus, they could easily pull a Microsoft to Six Apart’s Netscape, make a free Blog*Spot Pro service, and drive 6A out of the biz…which would totally suck.)
