Benjamin Trott

Benjamin Trott

Benjamin Trott, born birth date and age|1977|9|22, is a co-founder (with wife Mena Trott) of Six Apart, creator of Movable Type and TypePad.

Trott is chief technical officer of Six Apart. He is a regular contributor to CPAN (the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network), and has written for Perl.com and contributed to "Essential Blogging".

Movable Type was originally developed by Trott during a period of unemployment to help Mena Trott, his wife, with her blog, but the commercial potential was shown by over 100 downloads during the first hour it was made public.

In 2003, Six Apart launched TypePad, a hosted weblog service that continually wins awards as best in class.

Both came under heavy criticism in 2004 after moves to charge users to use the popular Movable Type system even though there remained a free non-commercial version.

In January 2005, Six Apart purchased LiveJournal, another pioneer in blogging.
