Think about the millions of businesses out there who need a website, and want to be on Twitter and Facebook. Most of these people have no clue how to setup a self hosted wordpress site. And even if they knew how, don't have the time to do it.
For these people, paying for a hosted website is well worth it.
- leftnode 16y agoWhat about putting an ad on Craigslist asking a freelancer to set up Wordpress and install the plugins to integrate it to Twitter and Facebook? That can be done in literally a day (longer for a custom theme), and for about $500-$1000.
- rantfoil 16y agoThat sounds like a lot of work, to be honest.

It a business expense and is well worth it. For companies who just need a blog to communicate with their customers, then a standard posterous account should be fine, and they don't need to pay for "pro" features.
