I have found Typead to be an excellent platform for serious blogging. It
enables me to still produce a solid volume of output while maintaining a busy
schedule. Don't get me wrong - I am a tweaker and hacker and love running my own
servers - but my life schedule does not always permit. Thus I compromised with a
solution that allows for technical satisfaction while doing most of the heavy
lifting.
It has great integration with Feedburner, Google, Twitter, Amazon, 3rd party
blog authoring tools, many social networking sites and decent statistics.
I find the one major drawback is the lack of a global ping configuration
tool. You still have to ping as a trackback with each post. I work around this
by using Blogo on Mac and Windows Live Writer on Windows - which both support
advanced ping configurations.
It is my hope that they will ultimately enable extended stats and a path for
directly pointing domains to an IP rather than mapping.
All in - I would highly recommend this for the blogger who has a lot of
output but limited sysadmin time.
