Niall Kennedy has been blogging from DEMO and posts details on the TypePad 2.0 demonstration.

I've been working on a few client projects with TypePad. While there are some limitations with TP, the advanced template option (available only to Pro level accounts) allows for quite a bit of design customization. Working frequently with MovableType does make it easy to tweak the templates though.

Mena Trott posts about her mom's demonstration of Six Apart's new Comet project. From the Comet page:

Project Comet will launch in early 2006 and will combine the publishing power of TypePad, the community aspects of LiveJournal and the years of insight garnered from Movable Type. Project Comet is focused on creating an advanced weblogging technology platform combining the best elements of all our products, giving people the ability to easily stake out, build and share their own place on the web.

Project Comet will incorporate the latest technologies, some of which include:

Community Aggregation: Gives you the ability to create individual blogs and share sections of them with other users in an elegant and customizable way.

Multiple Streams: Provides a single place to keep everything that is important to you. A record of your life is created by incorporating streams from various media, like music, photos, videos and other blogs into a single customized blog with an identity of its own.

Privacy: Lets you decide who gets to see what parts of your blog in addition to existing password protections for entire blogs.

Looks interesting.
