Typepad Begins To Surface New Sociality

Typepad has been involved in a resocialization of their blogging platform, slowly and steadily rewiring the DNA of that mature platform into a vastly more interesting social tool.

Within the Typepad platform, users can follow each other in the now widely adopted open follower model (a la Twitter and Tumblr). More importantly, they have now begun to surface that richer social experience on the blogs. Here’s a new widget on my blog, showing my followers and followings, and providing a hook to let people start following me within Typepad.

If you’re interested in fooling with the new Typepad, start following me there.
