Mena, Ben & Loïc
Mena, Ben & me

Mena, Ben, Barak and myself have been already working on this agreement for many weeks, I am very glad and honored to announce that Six Apart and my company Ublog SA have signed yesterday an exclusive representation agreement.

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.

First Six Apart global workshop in California
Asia, Europe and the USA gathered in California

Ben presenting the next MTAs Six Apart launched successful partnerships in the USA and Asia such as NTT and Nifty’s Cocolog (one of the main ISPs in Japan), Ublog’s team in Europe is already offering Typepad and Movable Type products to European ISPs, Telcos, Portals and Media Companies.

Current Ublog platform users will be able to upgrade to Typepad accounts and seamlessly import their Ublog weblogs if they like. Ublog will maintain its popular free offering with more than 11 000 weblogs in France and make similar products available in Europe.

    To use it daily for my music blog, i am convinced about Typepad.
    But who can help : it misses a basic internal search engine (with keywords) and a more developed statistics file.
