Introducing Jeff Reine, Our New GM of TypePad
Today we are pleased to announce the latest addition to the SAY Media team: Jeff Reine, General Manager of TypePad.
As GM of TypePad, Jeff is responsible for guiding the business and product strategy of theTypePad platform. His first priorities include bringing to market the next generation of the TypePad application and furthering investment in its fundamental capabilities to optimize the user experience of the valued TypePad community.
Jeff is returning to SAY Media as GM of TypePad, having previously worked at the company’s predecessor, VideoEgg, as Director of Business Development. Jeff has more than a decade of leadership experience in the digital and social media space and has held management positions at leading technology companies including Skype, PayPal and imeem. As a longtime TypePad user and fan of the platform, Jeff, with support from the SAY team, will ensure the interests of the TypePad community of publishers are at the forefront of every business decision.
SAY Media content and ad platforms are central to the development of a modern media company and TypePad is an important part of that evolution. We’re committed to supporting the TypePad ecosystem with technology and services – whether through the formation of better content creation and management tools, or support building audience and making money. That's why we’re thrilled to have Jeff back in the fold. Stay tuned for more on our plans for TypePad and its bright future.
I'll be sheepish and skip signing in w/ my TypePad account to leave this comment because, well, I'm disappointed that TypePad seems to have fallen behind Joomla and WordPress in terms of blog design flexibility and options, as well as widgets. They still don't have one for Facebook, though the "Like" button was a good start, to be sure. TypePad's not cheap; I don't feel that I get my money's worth from it anymore.

Thanks so much for your comment. SAY is committed to making TypePad world class. I've got a lot to learn *quickly* from the team and the greater TP community... And I hope you'll stay tuned to everything.typepad.com for our upcoming plans.

Welcome, Jeff!
When I read you were as I am, a long-time TypePad blogger I jumped over to your blog. I think it's awesome that you are familiar with TypePad blogging! Your last few posts are nifty however do you think maybe you could blog a bit more often, say if you can, at least once a week?
Best,
Cyn

Hey Jeff,
I have worked hard to be a top fashion blogger on Typepad, but it is difficult to compete against Blogspot since they offer so many easy connections to other bloggers and readers. In Typepad, it still does not play well with Facebook for instance. Please help me and others out! If you want more details, please write to me.
Thanks,
Jacqueline

Thanks, Cyn. I'm working on at least one meaty post per week.
Jacqueline - can you give me some examples that you'd like to see?
