Happy Birthday Movabletype! What a ride its been -- i'm proud to say that i was there when it all began, using Movabletype v1.0, and now several thousand blog entries later, the Volume of Interactions (and my other digital properties, Project Petaling Street and My Cigar Blog) is using its latest version MTv3.2. Its been a privilege for me to see how this amazing tool has developed over time -- what it is today is quite amazing.
Its often been said that blogs have revolutionised the nano publishing industry (well, it can be argued that blogs created the industry!) and also revolutionsed the way we access and disseminate information. What's rarely said nowadays is how big a role blog tools like Movabletype played in this revolution.
Hats off to MT and the people at SixApart. May 8 October 2001 be remembered forever as a day that changed how people write on the Internet.
