On Facebook:: Typepad Migration Group
This is a small group created on Facebook. They look for ways/solutions to export their Typepad content. A few sad quotes:
Discouraging. Yesterday I paid for the Bluehost migration service, and this morning they refunded my money, saying they couldn't access Typepad's proprietary software.
While I had been busily patting myself on the back for managing the task of migrating all my text from the former Tyepad site by way of a WordPress plug-in called, promisingly, Movable Type and Tyepad Importer, I naively failed to glean that all the images were still being hosted by the Typepad site, which WordPress was simply pulling from, for lack of a better term. In other words, I saved all the words, but all the visuals were still right where they’d always been. And now, … every image I’d posted prior to the late August transition, well … they’re just gone.

4 positive proposals about Typepad for Jose E Feliciano
Share them with him on his linkedin account:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/josefeliciano/
But now this link seems to be broken and Jose appears gone from Linkedin? Silly me, Jose probably just blocked me :) but YOU can contact him (as checked by a friend)
Leave also a message on the Kwanza Jones and Jose Feliciano Initiative on Linkedin or/and their website. We fully agree with their philanthropic vision.
Dear Kwanza Jones and Jose E Feliciano, we would like you
1. to immediately suspend the decision to close Typepad on September 30
2. to consider the creation of Typepad Archives within a new Jose E Feliciano Research Center on Blogging established at Stanford University that would host and curate the Typepad blogs collection (22 years of blogs worldwide) by a special and generous endowment from you or choose Princeton University that you attended and that seems to have a very active blog community.
3. to support a blog safeguard content initiative that would develop the best programs to save and transfer blog contents, starting with the Typepad blogs
4. to organize the celebration of 22+ years of Typepad blogs, recognizing their diversity and special contribution to the internet history
Liste de mes blogs sur Typepad
Evidemment, en 22 ans, j'ai accumulé pas mal de blogs: 201. Tous ne sont pas remplis de contenus, certains sont même vides car correspondant à des projets qui n'ont pas abouti. Mais une vingtaine ont un contenu substantiel. J'en ferai un bref inventaire ailleurs. In memoriam, car je ne crois pas que je procéderai à une reconstruction sur une autre plateforme même si j'exporte le contenu au cas où.
Même exporter seulement une vingtaine de blogs c'est la galère car le système n'est pas toujours opérationnel comme Typepad le reconnaît sur X sans proposer la moindre révision de leur calendrier pour tenir compte de ces problèmes.
Je reproduis la liste complète des blogs hébergés par Typepad ci-dessous.
