Another IM conversation, investigating the MovableType\/Six Apart\/Mac\/Apple conspiracy…<\/p>\n
\n Me:<\/strong> i’ve got a blogger<\/a> account for a side project of mine, but it’ll probably be moving to TypePad<\/a> pretty soon
\n Me<\/strong>: i can’t do<\/em> anything on a free Blogger account, and if I’m going to give someone money, I’d rather have it be the Trotts<\/a><\/p>\nPhil:<\/strong> Keep it for testing at any rate, could you? I don’t really know anyone who uses Blogger and has a Mac.
\n Phil:<\/strong> Other than me.<\/p>\nMe:<\/strong> sure, will do<\/p>\n
Phil:<\/strong> The Mac populace seems to prefer MT<\/a>, interestingly. Except the people at Forwarding Address: OS X<\/a>.
\n Phil:<\/strong> Hm…. maybe I could get Cory Doctorow<\/a> as a beta tester. That’d be amusing.<\/p>\nMe:<\/strong> i’ve noticed that, actually – been pleasantly surprised at how often Macs get mentioned on TP blogs<\/p>\n
Phil:<\/strong> Interesting correlation, really, if you think about it.
\n Phil:<\/strong> People who use Blogger often go on forums and curse about how unreliable and buggy it is.
\n Phil:<\/strong> People who use Windows often go on forums and curse about how unreliable and buggy it is.
\n Phil:<\/strong> People who use MT are often like “Look at this cool trick I can do with my blog!”
\n Phil:<\/strong> People with Macs are often like “Look at this cool trick I can do with my Mac!”
\n Phil:<\/strong> Do you see a trend?
\n Phil:<\/strong> I think maybe Movable Type is the Mac of the blogging world.<\/p>\n
