- JBlue42 9y agoFor those that don't have to customize it, it 'just works' right? Also, their only major competitor was blogger at the time which, IIRC, was far less customizable and monetizable.
- alexandernst 9y agoIt “just works” as long as you don’t install any themes or plugins. The moment you start adding stuff to it... oh boy... That and the fact that most themes/plugins are coded by juniors, in the best case... So, yeah, it “just works” as long as you don’t actually pretend to use it for something useful.
- JBlue42 9y agoYep. It's dominant in its space and definitely belongs on this list. As someone that has created and destroyed so many blogs, it was easy to get going, choose a theme, and post. At one point, they may have gotten $10-20 from me so I could use my own domain. Not sure how they make their other money.
