You have to visit the website or learn from someone else what it’s about. The two co-founders, Ben and Mena Trott, have birthdays that are six days apart. Such a personal reference might seem inappropriate for a company name, but for Six Apart it’s very fitting. This is a company that’s all about people’s stories. It helped pioneer the blogging movement, and the spirit of personal narrative pervades its website. Their “About” page prominently features relaxed, non-corporate looking photos of the founders, with Mena Trott’s face smiling adorably to welcome you to “Mena’s Corner“, and with the link text “Mena tells the story” leading to the company history.

In addition to my day job, I maintain a small LLC called Chimp Software. Wil Shipley, one of the Mac software development greats, owns Delicious Monster. I find this sort of sense of humor and willingness to poke fun at yourself very refreshing in a world full of Serious Technology Corporation, INCs, and the like. :) So true.
