Mena Trott’s emotionally charged post about handing over her title as CEO of Six Apart, publisher of the popular blog publishing platforms TypePad and Movable Type, to board member Barak Berkowitz says so much about what kind of company Six Apart is and, for that matter, about the whole blog phenomenon. I mean, in what other kind of business could one executive so openly mock another during the ceremonial passing of the torch, even while at the same time making it clear the love and respect is so heartfelt. It’s really a beautiful tribute to the kind of businesses blogs can help foster.
Meanwhile, Mena, who will retain her title as president of the company she co-founded with her likewise twentysomething husband, announced that Six Apart has acquired its French reseller, Ublog, and it has also hired Web VC veteran Andrew Anker.
In short, lots of good news for this terrific company that is really growing into something with potential that several industry big-shots are banking on. (Disclosure or whatever: this site is produced using TypePad, and I’ve met Mena, and she’s very nice.)
