TypeKey and Movable Type 3.0

Honestly, I don't know what all the hubbub is about. Something has definitely changed in the weblog community. People just don't seem to trust Six Apart anymore. They offer a for profit product and suddenly they're Microsoft? Not that questioning the service is bad, questions are always good, but it seemed to get out of hand over the weekend (give 'em a break, let them have their freakin' weekend). You would think, or at least I would, that people would wait until the service was released before condemning it to hell.

I don't see myself using TypeKey anyway (though I reserve the right to change my mind). In my small town blog world I don't get many comments, and MT 2.661's throttle feature takes care of most of my spam. Combine that with MT 3.0's improved comment management, and I think I'll be fine.

It does seem that Six Apart, or Mena at least, is getting a little snippy. Good for them/ her.
