Update: SixApart’s Anil Dash responds.
As I wrote here and here a few weeks ago, I’m one of thousands running a business blog on TypePad. The service has been excruciatingly slow of late. (Just now I thought I’d tear my hair out while waiting for this post to Save.) Sometimes it’s down altogether.
Don’t get me wrong. This is not a “trash 6A” blog entry. It’s a please please please listen to your customers before it’s too late message. The buzz is building. There’s talk of moving some high-profile blogs (including this one) to WordPress or another platform.
My advice? Post fast. Post fresh. Be transparent. The blogosphere is gonna bite if you don’t. And get something up on your Status Blog (which, BTW, doesn’t have an archive so it’s conspicuously not quite a blog) or on Mena’s Corner that acknowledges the problem.
C’mon guys. We love you! Don’t disappoint.

If any business wants to survive nowadays, they definitely need to listen to the customer…and they need to listen fast.
There’s so much competition just waiting to take away customers!

SixApart should know that business blogging is a growing industry these days—thus the proliferation of webhosts, free and otherwise. Many companies and even individual entrepreneurs rely partly on business blogs for their decision-making processes.
