Although sixapart owns livejournal now, they were separate products until Jan 2005. Brad Fitzpatrick is the livejournal guy, who did memcached and all that fun stuff. Ben and Mena Trott wrote Movable Type, and their hosted service was TypePad. So, yes, sixapart does have the expertise that you say, but the way you say it seems to confuse the Trotts with Fitzpatrick. --Levi /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
