Paul Carr of Tech Crunch was frustrated that his WordPress blog is “lousy for maintaining a conversation“.
But after researching the alternatives, especially Tumblr, he’s sticking with WordPress.
If you want a conversation, go to a forum. If you have something to say, post it on WordPress. Simple.
Get your free blog at WordPress.com … or leave a comment if you have an option you like better. (Yes, I recognize the irony of that last sentence.)

I’m a Tumblr guy, have been a for a couple years now. Love the community and blogging is super easy. Very different though than Word Press.
Any experience with Google’s platform on blogger.com?
I recently heard a Google guy interviewed on This Week in Google. He happened to describe the process by which he narrowed down his blogging platform to WordPress.
He didn’t mention the Google product.
When called on that … he had NO COMMENT.
I think it’s terrible.
