TypePad is a blogging service from company Six Apart Ltd, and the largest paid blogging service in the world.[citation needed] Originally launched in October 2003, TypePad is based on Six Apart's Movable Type platform, and shares technology with Movable Type such as templates and APIs, but is marketed to non-technical users and includes additional features like multiple author support, photo albums and moblogging.
The service is available in several languages and countries around the world, but in the United States is sold at three different subscription levels.
TypePad is currently used by many large organizations and media companies to host their weblog, such as ABC, MSNBC, the CBC, the BBC and Sky News.
On June 9, 2008, Steve Jobs announced Typepad will be available for the iPhone in early July.
Although the web site offers a seductive "free trial",[1] after entering basic registration information it turns out that entering complete credit card information[2] is required to take advantage of this "free" offer.
Although their registration form makes it appear that you can opt out of receiving commercial email, this is actually required for registration of any kind with typepad.
