Weblog tools: a dynamic market


Quoting from Elise Bauer's analysis: Weblog Tools Market - Update February 2005

In any market that is growing at an astounding 300% a year, if your user-base is only growing by 50%, you are falling behind, quickly.
Also interesting to note:
I'm often amused by the petty bickering that goes on in the blogging community over which tool is better - Movable Type, Wordpress, Expression Engine, etc. Who cares? In the consumer market, less than 1 percent of those wanting to blog have the skill level or desire to deal with HTML tags, let alone configuring scripts for a server. These tools will never win in the consumer space; they are just too difficult to use.
