It's just mind-boggling to me that so much development effort went into TypePad as a platform, yet the most important and desirable aspect from the user's standpoint - Themes - was essentially ignored. It shows a complete lack of understanding of the market. People choose WordPress precisely because of the amazing number of available themes. The current TypePad themes are just mind-numbingly bad. Of course, today, it's critical that themes be designed to easily and seamlessly handle lots of images, audio, and video. I find MySpace revolting - but it's largely due to the infinite visual customization that it is so popular. Hopefully, we'll now see some changes.
