Ublog SA becomes the exclusive agent of Six Apart in Europe, Middle-East and Africa and has started distributing its leading weblogs publishing products, Typepad and Movable Type. Typepad is already available in French and Spanish and will also be available in the next weeks in German and Dutch. Most European languages will follow shortly. Local Typepad and Movable Type websites will be launched very soon.

ANOTHER BLOW TO FREESPEECH AND FREEDOM OF INFORMATION WITHIN THE COUNTRY. THIS IS A SAD DAY. GLUTTER TURNS BLACK AS A MEANS TO PROTEST AND BRING ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE If I could so much ask, I would like to suggest others who own typepad sites and other blogs to put a note on theirs as a means to spread the word. So until TypePad blogs are unblocked, you will all have to bear with this ugly black border around my blog. Pass it on sier Loic Le Meur på http://www.loiclemeur.com  Via North Korea zone and Joi Ito's Web 7:55:21 PM    comment [] One year ago today har vår franske venn Loic Le Meur kalt et innlegg han har på sin blogg og det å spå fremtiden.  Du finner han på http://www.loiclemeur.com "[Weblogs] are an interesting phenomenon, but I don't think they will be as talked about in a year's time."
