Thank you.

I think the reason that WordPress is the best (and I mean WordPress.org - not WordPress.com) is that there is an entire ecosystem filled with plugins for your blog! Plus, you can really get down and dirty with customizing your site and making it your own. If that doesn't sound like something you would enjoy, you can find plenty of people to help you out - the WordPress community is huge. It's a powerful, extendable platform for those that want more control over their site.

Blogger's OK, I suppose - it is easy, but there's just so much more you can do with WordPress.

For a journaler to transition to blogger, the quality of the writing needs to be very high...and the posts need to be interesting! If a journaler wants to be a blogger, then I would ask them: What kind of blogger? What's the subject matter for the blog? How's it categorized? What will make your blog stand out? What's your audience like? Who do you want to appeal to?

Because blogs are not just random, personal ramblings...that's sort of the defining difference between journaling and blogging. Even some mommy bloggers are pushing out quality content these days. Note that mommy bloggers aren't just randomly posting - their blogs have the central theme of modern motherhood. You still need a core theme to make a successful blog work. IMHO.

You're right - Feedburner definitely needs a competitor!

Maybe I should do another poll? :)

True. I added a better survey on RWW today: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/friendfeed...

I asked on Twitter if people loved FriendFeed.

Of course the tweet on FriendFeed shows more YES's, but that was not the point. The Twitter poll was the point.

sarahintampa — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:52:50 -0000

Exactly - that's why it was a Twitter poll - lots of NO's on Twitter....which was revealing.
