I guess I was closer to the mark than I thought when I called Six Apart absentee landlords with Vox. Yesterday, they announced that they're closing this place down. Curiously, a company that was once a web 2.0 darling (Six Apart developed the Movable Type software, and sold blogging platforms to professions via Typepad and Blogs.com) has had troubles getting attention, while younger upstarts like Tumblr passed them by. Six Apart has been dogged by rumors of being an acquisition target for a while, the latest being an almost merge with VideoEgg.
But this means little to me as I try to figure out what to do with this place before September 30th.
