Blog world - so much choice

It looks like nowadays every big player in the internet game is trying to get a bigger piece of the pie creating more and more attractive platforms for internet presence, social networking etc. It is difficult to chose. I looked today over Microsoft's Live Spaces and it looks great. The integration with MSN messenger and other MS products, the possibility of synchronizing with my Windows Mobile phone and other advantages coming from having all the platform integrated is very appealing. However I am a partisan of the open standards and even all my work is related to Microsoft I think that being Open is the condition for progress and the future in every field, not only computing.

So why choose Blogger? I have Windows even on my smart phone... The idea is to promote choices.

I pay almost 10USD a month for hosting on a server where I can install whatever I like. I play with Joomla, Wordpress and other systems. I have a site created with Joomla at http://www.boerescu.info. However I find every day that choices from the free area are more and more powerful, with more space, integrated with mail, messengers, and the possibility to be part of social networks with millions of people.

I trust Google's creativity. I am looking forward to see with what they will come up next. keep up the good work.
