Look for more community tools on TypePad and Vox.

Funny - dropping LJ seems to me like a step *away* from one of the biggest, longest living, and most successful social networks around. LJ is just chock full of communities, people being each others' audiences, marking each other as friends, and tracking what each other are doing.

The rest of Six Apart's offerings strike me much more as mostly isolated publishing platforms.

It appears to me that the blog market is going towards saturation. Social network still have some room to grow. The combination of blog and social network is the way to go. Or the ultimate model is each person has a blog/website within the social network. Each website/blog has photo, video sharing, personal bookmarks, personal diggs.

sounds to me like their trying to monopolize the Forum market now too. SOO glad I switched to wordpress. Six Apart is just getting worse all the time, making me wish I had never purchased an MT 3 membership.
