In January 2005, Fitzpatrick sold Danga to Six Apart, for an undisclosed sum of cash and stock.

He was named chief architect of Six Apart.

Movable Type is a weblog publishing system developed by the company Six Apart.

Six Apart released a beta version of Movable Type 4 on June 5, 2007 and re-launched movabletype. org as a community site, for purposes of developing an open-source version that was released under the GNU Public License on December 12, 2007.

Its development was being guided by a non-profit group consisting of current and former Six Apart employees, as well as other consultants and volunteers, but development appeared to cease in the middle of 2011.

At various times, Six Apart also maintained three other weblog publishing systems — TypePad, Vox, and LiveJournal.

Shortly before being acquired by web advertising firm VideoEgg to form SAY Media in September 2010, Six Apart announced that it would be shutting down the Vox service at the end of that month, leaving TypePad and Movable Type as the company's only blogging platforms.

In January 2011, SAY Media announced that Infocom, a Japanese IT company, had acquired Six Apart Japan and that as part of the transaction, Infocom would assume responsibility for Movable Type.

Six Apart Ltd., sometimes abbreviated 6A, is a software company known for creating the Movable Type blogware, TypePad blog hosting service, and Vox.

Six Apart is headquartered in Tokyo and is planning to open a new, U. S .- based office in New York.

In 2003, Six Apart received initial venture capital funding from a group led by Joi Ito and his Neoteny Co., something which allowed the company to hire additional employees, acquire a French weblog publishing company, and unveil plans for what was to become its hosted weblog publishing system, TypePad.

In 2004, Six Apart completed a second round of funding with August Capital, a move which allowed it to make acquisitions of other companies.

In January 2005, Six Apart purchased Danga Interactive, parent company of LiveJournal, from owner Brad Fitzpatrick, who was named Six Apart's chief architect.

In March 2006, Six Apart announced the acquisition of the SplashBlog camera phone blogging service.

On September 6, 2006 Six Apart bought Rojo. com.

President Chris Alden became executive vice president of Six Apart and general manager of Movable Type.

On December 2, 2007, Six Apart announced it was selling LiveJournal to SUP Fabrik, a Russian media company which had previously licensed the LiveJournal brand and software for use in Russia.

On April 21, 2008, Six Apart said it acquired Apperceptive, a New York social media agency, as part of its new strategy.

Just as in an advertising network, bloggers will be able to sign up and participate in advertising campaigns managed by Six Apart.

On December 1, 2008, Six Apart announced the acquisition of micro blogging website Pownce.

The key developers of Pownce ( Leah Culver and Mike Malone ) stayed on at Six Apart through early 2010, with Pownce technology being integrated into TypePad and TypePad Conversations.
