OK, so it's not exactly the billions the government is handing out on the street corner, but this is the first thing I've seen extended specifically to laid-off journalists. And, to the delight of many here, it's also BLOGS!

At TypePad, out-of-work journalists can get free access to their "Pro" blog service, which normally costs $150 per year. It includes a lot of bells and whistles that don't come for free, and you're also cut in on their ad program, so that might help you bring in a little cash while you're potentially jobless.
Seems like a nice gesture, at the very least. Writers want to write, and this could give many of them an outlet when they wouldn't have otherwise. Anybody here gonna give it a shot?
