quinn222 at 07:13am on 06/01/2005So we've been bought out. Apparently things at LJ are going to stay as is. I'll believe that when I actually see it. In an effort to try and be informed I checked out Six Apart's TypePad service. Why on earth is anyone using this over LJ? They are charging $15 a month for about the same thing we get here for free or much much less. I don't care as long as they keep their hands off my LJ and my wallet and don't splash ads all over the place.
I'm really glad I have Correspondence and Adventures posted and hosted on my own servers though.
ETA Also, I read this on TypePad's FAQ-
Q. What happens if I go over my bandwidth or disk usage limits?
A. We will be charging overusage fees for bandwidth and disk overusage. We haven't yet set the rate for those fees, and we will not actually be charging them until we have an option in place to purchase additional bandwidth or disk space at a lower cost. In the time being, the statistics on the control panel should be a good gauge as to how much extra bandwidth and disk space you'll need.
That refers to TypePad of course but I sure would like to know what that means. Are they limited in the number of readers they can have or something and have to pay if it goes over? Or is that only for the photo hosting portion of the thing?
