PROS

CONSInterface could be much more utilitarian. Limited design controls for semi-experienced bloggers. Light on page elements. Some learning curve (or "getting used to" curve at least). Tiny text field. Unique domain names must be registered with another provider.

BOTTOM LINE
Tumblr, a free blogging platform and hosting service, is a decent place for beginners and microbloggers to get their feet wet and post rapidly, although a too-graphical interface will slow down anyone who's new to the site, and lack of fine controls will frustrate more experienced bloggers.
PROS
Almost no learning curve. Excellent for mobile blogging. Includes options for a paid domain name, right within sign-up process. Great for beginners. Integrates well with social media.
CONSLight on page elements. Can't preview when posting by email. Controls are fairly light or require CSS knowledge?not much in between.

BOTTOM LINE
Posterous, a free blogging platform, is an ideal place for beginners and microbloggers to get their feet wet and post rapidly. Experienced bloggers should stick to some of the more difficult-to-master tools that offer more control.
- twitter.(if you think about it it's the same format).
PROS
The original microblog with the largest audience. Easy to get started.
CONSSome interface elements unclear, as is the help. No search for posts.
BOTTOM LINE
The first big microblogging/moblogging site, Twitter boasts the largest audience among sites of its ilk. But some of the finer points of its operation, and its help, could stand some improvements in usability.
Xanga originated back in 1999 as a site for sharing book and music reviews. Driven by member preferences, it quickly morphed into a full-scale blog site, but it retains a marvelous ability to share reviews. Just name the song, movie, or book that interests you and Xanga grabs a link to Amazon.com, including a thumbnail of the cover. Xanga aggregates the links into a Top 50 list. Click the xTools button in the Links toolbar to comment on the site you're visiting, or post to your blog via e-mail. The attractive, fully WYSIWYG editor permits easy insertion of smileys, symbols, and links, and it automates the process of uploading and including images. You can try a free Xanga site, then upgrade to get more features and no ads.
It's easy to locate like-minded people among Xanga's 2.5 million users by checking out its blog rings. Members with similar interests can subscribe to one another's blogs (when someone subscribes or unsubscribes, you're notified). Xanga also gives the ability to subscribe without notification, a way to try a blog without risking offending the blogger by unsubscribing. Visitors can comment on your posts or give "eProps" to especially good ones.
enjoy!
