Judging Blogging Tools

Dave Winer suggests:

Why don't a small number of users of the popular weblog tools work together to create an authoritative review of the category and show us how the products compare.
Tell you what, I'll do a review of at least six different blogging tools (I've personally used three already in the last two years) on a bunch of different criteria if:
  1. I don't have to pay to use the tools do the reviews (because I won't be creating real blogs with them, this is only fair).
  2. I get input on the criteria used to judge the tools from others, so that they are unbiased.
  3. Dave Winer actually reads this post and takes me up on my offer in 24 hours.

Number 3 would be a lot easier if Dave had trackback on his blog, no? :) We'll see if Google catches me in time. I may be a kid (though my classmates and coworkers would disagree -- they call me the old man) but I know my web stuff. I'll be tough but fair.

scribble.nu ... ages ago. One of the first first free blog sites out there that I can remember (though there were probably more). I used it in 2000/2001. Now it's very unreliable -- a victim of its own success, as some web sites are. Just ask Aurora.
