Movabletype Goes Open Source - A Serious Challenge to Wordpress?
June 6th, 2007 by e-tech
Movabletype 4.0 is now open source but can they compete or even regain the number spot as a blogging application?
I say “regain” because MT was once open source, in fact it was once of the best ones out there until they decided to charge for the software and there’s where Wordpress came in and basically won the blogging community over and now has a strong userbase.
MT4’s core authoring functions allows you to manage assets with greater ease. A rich web editor offers “What You See Is What You Get†functionality to allow insertion of not just text, but audio, photos, and files as well. And you can easily reuse any of those rich media assets with MT4’s new built-in asset management system

But it’s so damn hard to install MT. I don’t think MT can regain back so easily…
