Hmm, sounds interesting..

Six Apart has launched a preview of a new product called “Motion” that brings together a number of the year’s hottest trends – microblogging, aggregation, and portable identities – into one software package that is installed server side for users of Movable Type.

As you can see in the sample below, Motion features a simple blog editor for quickly posting text, images, or video. The blog itself contains not just updates you post, but also updates from third-party services like Flickr, YouTube, and Twitter. Beyond that, Motion comes off-the-shelf with support for Facebook Connect, Google Friend Connect, and OpenID, meaning that in Movable Type’s words, “there are half a billion web users who can comment or vote on your content without hitting a registration barrier.”
