Read & Write Web (excellent blog name, by the way 
):
To understand why Six Apart is releasing an open source version of Movable Type, we need to briefly revisit its past. Movable Type was once the darling of the blogosphere, especially from its original launch in 2001 to about 2004 (when licensing issues upset many bloggers). Since 2004/05, many bloggers have migrated to the open source WordPress – and perhaps of more concern, a lot of third party developers transferred their efforts from MT to WordPress. However to make up for the loss of momentum in the consumer market, Movable Type began to sow some seeds in the Enterprise market. Back in October 2006 Read/WriteWeb reported on the release of Movable Type Enterprise 1.5. Movable Type at that point was being positioned as an advanced tool, suitable for enterprises and power bloggers alike. What’s changed since then is that it now wants to be a social media platform, and the open sourcing will address some market concerns over licensing.
Midas Oracle is proudly powered by WordPress.org, MySQL and AquaFluid.
So ease of repeating correctly has no bearing on name excellence? The author of the blog cited consistently calls it Read/WriteWeb.
Mike Linksvayer,
Read & Write Web = more readable for my readers than Read/WriteWeb
Read and Write Web = would be better, maybe, now I think of it.
I understand that brand creators insist on people using their wording, but I won’t, for the benefits of my readers.
And by the way, I don’t get why Jed Christiansen and David Pennock (and plenty of others) insist on spelling this group blog, “MidasOracle”. It’s more readable in two separate words: “Midas Oracle”.
