From MacMinute:
Sparkpod, a Weblog (blog) hosting company, has announced the availability of free trial accounts for its service. Sparkpod was designed using 100% Macintosh-based solutions — programmed using WebObjects, designed using Macs, and hosted on Xserves — although PC users may also use it. The service offers the ability to post messages in the same visual environment as your front end Weblog design, and includes additional features such as commenting, image uploading, auto archiving, design template selection, and automatic announcements to friends.
They could’ve picked a better name. I’ve got a ‘mac…’ domain for sale that I’d have sold them cheap.
Also, they really ought to be publishing their own weblog, purely as a PR ploy if for no other reason… and a better reason if they need one is so that people that are interested in their service can learn a bit about them — worked for Dave Winer, didn’t it?
Their sample blog is HTML 3.2 with tables, which seems a bit old fashioned when other blog tools are pushing tableless XHTML with CSS.
