Blogging? What Service do you use?

I've used Blogger.com (owned by Google) for several years now. It's simple, nothing fancy but gets the job done and is free. There's many other services - AOL, Yahoo, MSN, TypePad and others.

Microsoft MSN Spaces is a pretty good service and claims to be the the most widely used blogging service worldwide with more than 100 million unique visitors, according to data released by comScore Networks Inc. of Reston, Va., an independent Internet audience measurement and consulting company.

Now available in 30 markets and 16 languages, the next version of MSN Spaces, called Windows Live(TM) Spaces, is expected to launch later this year with additional functionality including a social networking service and the ability for developers to create gadgets, new features developed by hobbyists and partners, that can be added to a Space by users.

Although consumers are using blogging a lot (especially on MSN Spaces I guess) blogging is a VERY powerful tool for business. You can communicate with customers faster and easier than a static web page allows.
