Typepage Official Launch Today Sixapart announced the official launch of Typepad.

New features in the system include the ability to map your own domain name to your TypePad site so that your site would appear at example.com if you own that domain name, in addition to the example.typepad.com address that is included with your TypePad account. There's also more bandwidth for users at the Plus and Pro levels, giving users 3 and 5 gigs per month in data transfer, respectively. Plus, all levels now have the ability to password protect any weblog or photo album for privacy.

Also the folks behind Typepad and Movable Type were featured on CNN tonight. They have a video clip on their web site.
