Expulsé, licencié, volé, brisé, violé,

Expulsé, parce que la plate-forme était votre domicile, la résudence qui hébergeait depuis 22 ans tous vos projets et boum on vous en chasse: debrouillez-vous pour rassembler tout ce que vous avez installé et barrez-vous 

Licencié, parce que c´était mon principal outil de travail en tant qu´ouvrier digital, soutier du tek et on me le retire, on me force à essayer d´aller ailleurs et vite et probablement avec l´obligation de se faire aider sans que le proprio qui vous licencie vous aide en quoi que ce soit

 Volé, parce qu´en ce qui concerne les images, les photos, les illustrations, je ne pourrai pas tout "sauver". Il y a trop de contenu à inventorier, trier puisqu´il n´y a pas de sauvegarde automatisée. 

Brisé, avec l´outil de travail dont je suis dépossédé et que toute la production de ces 22 années de travail va à la casse, est brisée. Mais vous pouvez tout transférer, exporter. C´est faux. il y en a trop, il n´y a pas assez de temps, je n´ai pas l´énergie nécessaire, il y a des problèmes de fonctionnement. 

Il n´y a pas de raison de procéder ainsi sauf le mépris capitaliste envers l´ouvrier à qui on ne doit rien.
Dégagez, y a rien à voir. Et la plupart assistent, impuissants, résignés, silencieux, tandis que pendant la casse les affaires continuent, de plus en plus de millards, de plus en plus d´affichage éhonté de leur généreuse philanthropie. Regardez comme on est des types bien. Enfin ne regardez pas de trop près, ne nous posez pas de questions indiscrètes (gênantes), respectez le secret de nos affaires et contentez-vous d'admirer notre succès, édifié à vos dépens.

Violé, parce que ce contenu était un truc personnel qui m´est soustrait brutalement, évidemment sans mon consentement, sans que j´aie la moindre voix au chapitre, seulement enlève moi tout ton bazar avant le 30 septembre, après basta, out, over, finito, pas de funérailles, pas de sépulture, le grand vide digital. 

Je vais finir par rebondir, reconstruire, tout n´était pas à garder mais de quel droit 2 milliardaires m´ont-ils ainsi mis dehors, spolié, dépouillé? 

Bien sûr quand je pense à la Palestine, que je n´oublie jamais, j´ai honte de ma victimisation de rien alors que leur souffrance est si monstrueuse. Complète indifférence au saccage.

Free Palestine!

Let us look a bit closer at the two owners of Clearlake Capital

 Here in a post about their buying of Chelsea and how they do business :(

Here about their buying of Dun and Bradstreet

Pour une poignée de milliards, achat de MCVcredit en France .

Combien d'utilisateurs, combien de blogs impactés/expulsés par Typepad?

 Email envoyé à Frenchweb.fr:

You want to know how many users and blogs used Typepad? are going to be oblitared?

 I looked in vain  as the data seem very closely protected, but there is one site, Web Technology Surveys, that offers for Euros 299 to provide the info.

Ideas to consider?

 A good idea from commenter Milkywayer 

There should be substantial penalties for service providers that shut down or remove content without fair notice or an opportunity to create backups.

Could what TechnicaGratiaArs suggests below be feasible?

Could a subset of Typepad users request each of their own account's data be transferred to an independent Typepad server set up by that subset to continue operating? That subset could hire a team to augment or replace their own volunteers to execute the administration of the changeover.

Alternately, it seems a subset's members each could archive their own data sepatately, then the subset could populate a new server they (get) set up and operate going forward. That's not as simply managed as transferring the entire aggregate together, but it doesn't require any cooperation from Typepad's owners.

Indeed, that service seems like a steady business for an admin team serving each of these legacy sites as their original owners shut down. The trend will only accelerate.

Who am I and what do I care about Typepad going down that way?

 My name is Philippe Boucher and you can find more personal info on my Typepad hosted blog. If you go there, you'll see I have created and managed about 200 blogs hosted on Typepad so I certainly cannot expect to "export" and save all of this content, created since the beginning of typepad, 22 years ago. Not all the content is worth archiving but even if I focus on the main 20 blogs, it's still a lot and the "exporting" process does not look very effective, at least for a beginner like me.

You can have an idea of my blog production by scrolling down my CV where I list the ones I care for the most.

Have a look at the wordpress version of my personal blog compared to the present one on typepad. I guess/hope I can do better but for now it's problematic (understatement). So I am upset and angry at the people, including the few hedge funds billionaires who made the shut down decision and cowardly remained anonymous and as of now have not answered my requests for information.

I hope they can still understand it is in their own best interest in terms of their image and reputation to revisit this decision, cancel it and offer a fair deal to their customers.

A deal that would help them transition or provide a safe archiving. They also could organize a celebration of the many excellent blogs that were hosted and start engaging with Typepad users to work with them instead of evicting them without any consideration.

If your were one of the few remaining Typepad users

 That's what Arol Wright writes in his post. Too bad he does not provide any number.

He also writes: it's getting quite an unceremonious end, considering how long it's been online, with little over a month of notice and nothing other than a short blog post to say goodbye to it. But if you think about it, it makes sense. 

Well Arol, "unceremonious" is an understatement and I wonder what do you mean by "it makes sense".

I wish you would tell us how many people/organizations were still using typepad except maybe the people who made the shut down decision (who are they by the way?) fear the outcry when this number was made public.

Any chance you try to figure iout those points?

Une histoire qui n'intéresse personne

  C'est une histoire qui n'intéresse personne. Typepad  a été une des premières plateformes de blogs, créée en 2003, avec notamment ...
