<p><strong><a href="http://closing.vox.com/">Vox is closing on September 30, 2010</a></strong></p> One month seems like very short notice for closing a service of this size, especially since it functions as an OpenID provider so in addition to migrating their content away users may need to sign in to other services and set up an alternative form of authentication. UPDATE: From the comments, Vox accounts that migrate to TypePad will also have their OpenID migrated, and TypePad will continue to serve OpenID requests for old vox.com addresses. Smart solution. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/openid">openid</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/sixapart">sixapart</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/vox">vox</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/recovered">recovered</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/closing">closing</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://developer.typepad.com/motion/create-motion.html">TypePad Motion</a></strong></p> Launched today at FOWA, Motion is a microblogging application written in Django that uses the TypePad API for all persistent storage—which means you can deploy it as server-side code on your own site, but scaling horizontally is handled by TypePad (you just need to scale out the state-free front end). <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/fowa">fowa</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/motion">motion</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/sixapart">sixapart</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/typepad">typepad</a></p>
