I bet theres´s tough competition between different blog platforms and companies. People never should be caught in between them. Without bloggers there would be no competition.

If Wordpress wants to lose business by only catering to a small percentage of bloggers than that's their choice. If I was running a business, I would try to increase my customer base; however, some blog hosts want to be tailored. It would be dumb for blogger to do this, because they are Google and Google owns blogger and Adsense. Everything is a personal choice.

Thu, 01 Feb 2007 20:20:52 +0000 http://www.simplekindoflife.com/2006/11/08/hosting-at-wordpresscom/#comment-14848 [...] I’ve blogged about this issue before, here and here. It was my friend Marcus who shared the email with me - after it received it and freaked out because he was left with only a few hours to move his blog. I find it interesting that WordPress has opened up the lines of communication with PayPerPost on this issue, considering the extreme action they took previously. Ted stated that: The problem is that they seem to think that wordpress.com users are all against PPP and don’t want anything to do with us.

As came to light through a posting from blogger Colleen on her weblog, they’ve sent out a letter to their customers warning that any sponsored or paid blog entries are grounds for immediately deletion of their blog and a permanent ban from using the service in the future.
