If I didn’t know better I’d think SixApart was intentionally giving me fun stuff to blog about while I hold back on other things until the WWDC. They’re just continuously showing the wrong, yet predictable thing to do… which is…

It is 100$ with limitations attached. You have to count the number of authors and blogs you have. This is a typical pricing structure used by greedy software companies like Oracle. For example, in Oracle, if you use their software with certain number of transaction, they go ahead and charge you more. Oracle was able to do this, because their software was far more reliable, but MT is not that good. I am using WordPress now and I don't see a difference. In fact WordPress is better in many areas. I think what 6A assumed is that, they can charge as much as possible, since they are the Apple or something like that. Also they have typepad service, so forcing people to Typepad is better for them. But as I said, they miscalculated, people do not like to get screwed by VC funded companies. I think their prices are extraordinarily unreasonable. It is 100$ with limitations attached.
