Six Apart has debuted a host of social media services that complement its pioneering technology offerings and respond to the explosive growth of blogging into a mainstream communications technology. The company’s new services provide advertising, design, implementation, custom development and site optimization to bloggers and companies of all sizes.

To power this evolution of the company, Six Apart has acquired Apperceptive, LLC., the agency for designing and implementing social media communities, and established an office in New York City. Since its inception two years ago, Apperceptive has worked with Six Apart to build and expand blog-based web publishing communities for leading properties such as The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, BoingBoing, Major League Baseball, iVillage, Gothamist, Serious Eats, and more.
