Six Apart releases tiny blog tool, TypePad Micro

TypePad Micro

Blog platform company Six Apart is adding a free, miniaturized blogging service to its paid blog hosting service TypePad. The new TypePad Micro service is essentially a simplified template, called Chroma, for unpaid users on the TypePad service. It will likely be compared with Posterous and Tumblr.

The Chroma template is flexible and attractive, and most of the blogs I’ve seen using it look good. It’s a great format for short posts and for sharing pictures and embedded videos.

Motorola Droid Smartphone Review

I’ve been using the Motorola Droid for the past week on the road as my Internet/phone device, picking one up the day after the device first went on sale by Verizon.  The Droid is the first handset to be sold using the Android 2.0 software, and I’m comparing the device to my iPod Touch (essentially an iPhone minus the phone) and a Blackberry Curve I’ve been using.
