Bloggers with Borders
Please take a moment to register your blog with Blizg.com. It's a directory service that pegs blogs to physical locations by longitude and latitude. That would make it easy to find bloggers in any city or town. (All you need to do is add a few lines of location parameters in your blog's template code.) This can be a very useful services if enough number of people (Indian bloggers) sign up for it.

TypePad : Take the ease of online publishing by Blogger and mix it with MovableType' stability.....and you get TypePad, a hosted service for creating blogs from the makers of MovableType. It ain't launched yet but from the looks of it, this will definitely be interesting. In fact interesting enough for me to think of a switch over, provided it doesn't cost too much, or better still, free.

I have always wanted to shift over to MovableType but getting my hands dirty with the technical stuff kept me away from it. Now with TypePad, things will be bound to be much simpler. Congrats, Ben & Mena. You impress me even more.
