Blogger or WordPress.com?

Was having time debate with several of the participants here in my workshop on which blogging platform has better usability and functionality. Of course, I was pushing for WordPress.com because of two things — scale and upgradability. However, others are saying Blogger is better. I haven’t used Blogger in like 4 years now and yes I know that it has improved since then. What do you think?

    Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform
    you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    been using blogger ever-since due to two main reasons: 1.) i’m a big google fan, and 2.) i tried to monetize my blogs.

    but honestly, for me blogger is very technical and the way i saw it here, it seems that WP is such.

    right here and then, i gotta create my WP to check what i’ve been missing!

    Google’s servers are strong enough to handle demanding loads, that’s why I’ve chosen Blogger.

    I have to agree that WordPress is great, but if you lack the technical expertise to deal with the complicated stuff, stick with Blogger.

    Also, Google Apps Mail syncs perfectly with Blogger. If you use the nameservers of your external hosting site (where you installed WordPress), instead of your Registrar’s, chances are Google Apps Mail won’t work because you need to use the name servers of your registrar’s. If you use Blogger, on the other hand, you won’t need to change the name servers, meaning you can both run Google Apps mail and Blogger at the same time.

    check out http://mail.turboslice.com to see what I mean.

    And who said that Blogger themes are inferior to those of WordPress’s? Look at my blog and see for yourself what a little bit of tinkering can do to your interface.

    yeah unfortunately, you’re kind of blocked in with blogspot, and you can do about anything to and with wordpress these days on your own server. It’s really come up as a pretty good CMS tool now. But in old blogs, I’ve played with similar link structures and content, and the Blogger pages have always tended to get indexed faster and ranked better… really depends what you want to do with it…

    It’s wordpress for me. I created a new blog in blogger (cause I can use adsense) for our business, still, I wasn’t very thrilled with the experience. I find it less user-friendly than wordpress.com
