My Dad, a longtime fan and owner of multiple Macs was reading the recent edition of MacWorld and found an article by Mathew Honan on the different Blog Platforms entitled The Smart Blogger's Guide.

I have dipped my toe into all three of the major services: Blogger, TypePad and WordPress. All offer similar services but each have their own unique benefits. I was surprised by Mathew's breakdown of the three services.

For a Personal blog he recommends Blogger. I would agree - it's free, easy to use and very user friendly.

For a Business blog he recommends Typepad. I love Typepad. It offers additional bells and whistles and is the platform I've selected for Websites People Read.

The surprise came when he recommended Word Press for Personal blogs. I think it is more difficult to use and offers features businesses would find more beneficial than individuals.

For community blogs he recommends Vox which offers additional social networking features.

I learned something = he talks about tumblelogs, a blog designed for quick hits, short posts, pictures, web links and videos rather than lengthy text. He recommends Tumblr for this format.

What do you use? View all of Matt's reasonings at the complete article.
