I have asked this question to Google and here is the AI (intelligence?) answer:
There is no public, total number for how many blogs were hosted on Typepad.
Translate: Typepad does not provide the number.
but it's no longer relevant as Typepad is shutting down at the end of September, and all content will become unavailable.
Translate: Typepad (and AI) don't give a sh.. about the evicted bloggers and the content that will disappear.
Amazing: Eat shit and like it?
Where are the journalists investigating this story? No one anywhere?
As for the Typepad users when I read the comments about the shutting down news, as I just did on Linkedin, I am amazed by the general passivity. Zero rebellion, zero request for a detailed explanation, zero demand for respect of the content produced during 22 years!!!
Another question that came to my mind: how long did Typepad have an export tool available? Were they trying to get one and as soon as they did they kicked us out?
Yep, it's exactly what they did as told on Brian Hines blog. In March 2025 they did have their export tool ready yet...
Sorry, I am not passive at all! But I feel quite alone, as nobody's joining me (ZERO persons in my own country!). Typepad themselves are scum, when it comes to communication, but let's face it: they have been behaving like this for the past ten years or so. I have a few technical acquaintances who are trying to help me with migration, probably to Wordpress (although I'd rather stay with Typepad, as I have been using that since 2007 - on a daily basis). No (fellow) journalist is interested in this by the way. They will laugh at you and call you a fossil for still using Typepad in 2025.
