But beware: If they manage to implement this, we might be bugging you for an RSS-Feed that contains all our posts and comments or some such thing. =) Is the site slow to load on your end to? I just beging to grasp the possibilities of the collection stuff and I really like the access-levels. You think they make a paid option later on where you can remove the ads from your blog?

I think if they want people to make the switch, they need an importer which accepts RSS or Atom files, so people can bring their "history" (i.e. their blogs) with them. I've taken a look at TypePad's braindead import format, and I hope they get their act together. That format isn't even XML, there's almost no space for metadata... bad. Bad, bad, bad. That aside, I think they have a pretty solid product there. It's new, it's shiny, it's "connecty". Well done. Currently, it lacks an import feature.
