Cheers for the confirmation. Yes I agree its almost certainly cos they didnt want to get into the whole database thing,b ut what this really means is that they arent getting into many of the things that make a blog a blog, and a blog publishing system a blog publishing system.

Not dissimilar to what theyve done with podcasting etc. .Mac, your own personal slice of the internet circa 1996 Just as bad as Microsoft, just with slightly better style & propaganda, and quicker to hijack new phenomenon.
