Six Apart , the blogging software and services company had anounced the release of Movable Type 4 Beta yesterday.They even go on to mention the release of an open source version of Movable Type by the third quater this year.Chris Calden was quick however to stress that the Beta version is still not stable and not ready for production sites.
"It's not a Google beta. It's a real beta," said Chris Alden, executive VP
and general manager of Six Apart's professional division, meaning that Movable
Type 4 is not stable enough for production environments.
Companies such as the Boeing, Intel, NYU, Oracle, TBWA/Chiat Day, The
Washington Post, and Whole Foods are using Movable Type for both internal and
external communications. CMP Media, which publishes InformationWeek, uses
Movable Type as a blogging platform and for internal communication.
The MT4 boasts over 50 new features and is even easier to install than its predecessors.
Other product and services by six apart includes the hosted blog service LiveJournal,TypePad and last October's release of Vox ...which offers not only a hosted blogging service but added the community functionality.
