I've done my fair share of Typepadding... but inevitably, you run up against its limitations fairly quickly. If you want a blog and nothing else, it's OK. I used to recommend it for people who were going to have issues sorting out hosting - still WordPress's biggest 'catch'. But I've started doing some work with one client who built on WordPress.com; and there may be news shortly about easier WordPress hosting. I'll say no more.

If it wasn't hosted on Typepad, I'd have suspected you were behind dragging Ofcom into the age of conversation with their PSB Review blog. Must be Tom Loosemore's good work instead!

Nice to see the uk.gov testing the 'web 2.0' waters in a sensible way. Have you seen the site in IE7 on XP? - Your nice red & blue stripes don't stretch accross the page like they do in Firefox.

Thanks Paul... I hadn't seen CoverItLive before. Obviously it's a bit late in the day to bring an entirely new technology into the mix - but it looks ideal. I'll try to find time to try it in the next day or so.

Sounds very promising - what about coveritlive.com? Or is that too generic? One thing I've found doing something similar was that users started chatting among themselves, so you had a secondary conversation taking place alongside the main one.
