"present all the alternatives" Invariably those comparisons will be framed in a way that makes the product (in this case Posthaven) look good.

  This is about facts. Either things work or they don't. If I'm wrong, let me know. garry@posthaven.com

    Facts: I imported a dozen blogs with a couple thousand entries and all manner of media embeds. Only took a few clicks and 20 mins; everything worked. I've also emailed with questions about plans, and received prompt personal and fully informative replies. I had tried WP, Tumblr, and had started to fool with Jekyll when my posthaven invite came through. If you have better things to do with your time than fiddle with blog hosting, this migration is the way to go. // Tip: Don't pre configure any blogs, just run the import which sets them up for you.

  I think garry's interest is actually helping his users more than promoting Posthaven, though. The most selfish reason for helping users is probably to avoid the reputation loss of posterous disappearing without an alternative, more than Posthaven needing to be a big commercial success. But yes, vendor-provided comparisons are usually selective in what they compare :) In this case I meant that he was presenting alternatives at all, not that the comparison was impartial (which it seems to be). I don't think Posthaven is really a normal commercial enterprise.
