Top 10 Tools in 2008 for Bloggers

• "I use this for a private learning log, a public “salsa” blog, and members only discussions on the module I am teaching." Jane Challinor
• "a marvellous educational and personal development tool" Bill Miller
• "Never quite made the move to WordPress or TypePad etc. I've been blogging using blogger for 4-5 years and never had a problem with it. Like any blogging platform its a quick and easy way to get a message out there" Rich Chetwynd
• "for personal and professional reflection, sharing stories, ideas, thoughts, and whatever takes my mind at the time" Ian Usher
• "Es la base de todo lo demás, el punto de encuentro. En este momento supera a Wordpress claramente, ya que la posibilidad de editar el CSS permite encontrar soluciones a casi todo. Echo de menos más plantillas y la posibilidad de crear páginas sin recurrir a trucos cutres. [It is the base of all the others, the point of contact. At this moment it surpasses to Wordpress clearly, since the possibility of publishing the CSS allows to find solutions to everything almost. I miss more groups and the possibility of creating pages without resorting to miserly tricks]" Emilio Quintana
• "I have been on Blogger since 2004. I recently looked seriously at changing to Wordpress or Typepad but decided I had no compelling reason to do so. I have only been writing very sporadically but this year hope to be much more consistent. Still, I think Blogger will continue to serve me well." John Schaffer
• " I didn’t choose my blogging tool, I just took the easy option and used the one that Google provided. It seems absolutely fine. I now supplement it with a desktop blog editor called Windows Live Writer, which I prefer to Google’s own editor." Clive Shepherd
• "Blog" Daniel O'Shea
• "for making me learn before sharing, for making me learn more by sharing" Michelle Gallen
• "I have found blogger.com the most intuitive site for learners setting up a new blog, especially the new version." Anne Paterson
• "Blogging – not a particular blogging tool, but just the fact of blogging has helped me know more and forced me to learn. It is a bit like teaching is the best method of learning. I use Blogger for my blog." Manish Mohan
• "Still Blogger - but Wordpress is a good runner-up!" Edwin Mijnsbergen
• "Place for sharing the thoughts, experience, questions " Malinka Ivanova
• "There are lots of great blogging apps available. I still use one of the standards here, though others have more features." Thomas Stone
• "To run my own blog (both my professional and family blogs)." Benjamin Hamilton
• "As an avid blogger, I find the tool easy to use and straightforward to set up and add posts…of course I have a laundry list of items that I'd like to see added but it does a great job for quick and easy blogging." Karl Kapp
• "While everyone seems to get the blog thing now, few are leveraging the technology for what, at its root, it really is: a very quick web page creator. It can be a place to list assignments, a site for student interaction and discussion, and even a location for structuring and hosting an entire course. Google “23 Things” to see a blog-for-training at its best." Jane Bozarth
• "simple - free - you can be very creative with the new version" Florence Meichel
• "I have set up a blog using Blogger and use this as an occasional reflection tool. I am enjoying linking other tools to my blog." Elaine Talbert

• "It may not be the best compared to other tools but I find it simply works and meets my blogging needs down to the ground." Jonathan Lecun
