Blog Software Smackdown

An anonymous reader writes "With published numbers saying there are approximately 70,000 new blogs being created each day, and the total number of blogs doubling every 5 months, it's no wonder that everyone and their dog is wondering whether to setup their own blog for a chance at fame, or perhaps a book publishing deal. The question then becomes: What software should you use? SitePoint has just published The Blog Software Smackdown which takes a look at Movable Type, WordPress, and Textpattern. Pick one, and take your stab at fame or notoriety."

well? which one? by cryptoz · 2005-11-14 12:21 · Score: 1, Redundant

You can't have linear growth and exponential growth at the same time! So is it about 70,000 new ones per day, or is it doubling every five months? Since it can't be both, pick one!

Okay, okay, so it's possible that the number is about 70,000 new/day right NOW, but that'll change very, very soon, so what's the point of even including it?
