Welcome Will Thalheimer
My colleague Will Thalheimer has just started blogging (after a big push from me). His blog can be found at Will at WorkLearning.
Will always has interesting things to say so I will be reading his blog and have bookmarked it under the Learning 2.0 category on del.ici.ous.
My only disappointment is that Will chose Typepad for his blog rather than our blogging software, Pingware. Pingware is better than Typepad on a number of fronts, including very good built-in search, the ability to subscribe via category, and a system of components that are completely programmable. It has a much better notification structure, where readers can select how they receive information (via email or subscription) down to the category and its comments. Pingware offers much greater flexibility than Typepad. Pingware has also just added a comment spam-prevention feature where you must type a hidden word before you can post a comment. This has completely eliminated spam from our blogs.
Typepad has been having some performance problems lately. This is something that seems to be endemic to the blogging platform. We have also experienced problems that the platform seems to have stabilized and our hosting partner, Tucows, is doing a great job of troubleshooting the platform.
So Will, before you get all “linked up” on Typepad, reconsider.
