One of the most popular blogging applications, TypePad, from Six Apart, has been having problems since sometime Thursday night. It’s just about over, now. This affected some of my favorite blogs, such as Seth’s Blog, Micro Persuasion, and Signs Never Sleep.

At first, the blogs weren’t available at all — people were seeing a “down for maintenance” page instead. Then they were up, but with posts only up to December 10th. I found this out as I was reading posts in my feed reader. I wanted to look at comments, so I clicked on the title of the post, which should have brought me to the actual blog post. Instead I got a “page not found” message.

I didn’t think to go to TypePad’s blog, but instead sent an email to Steve Rubel, owner of Micro Persuasion. He sent back a quick note. Thanks, Steve, for taking time out to email me.

There are varied reactions in the blogosphere over this outage. (more…)
