Wordpress to launch hosted service
Wordpress developer Matt Mullenweg has announced plans to start a hosted Wordpress service via Wordpress.com. This will effectively position them against Typepad, although Brad Hill notes they'll also need to distinguish themselves from the growing number of web hosts offering Wordpress as a one-click install (Dreamhost, Bluehost, etc.).

I disagree about WP.com being positioned against TypePad. My argument is that WP.com appeals to a completely different user, the newbie. WP.com will bring WordPress to the mainstream, non-technical user, albeit in a highly modified and less customizable form.
