Elise's Weblog Tools Market Update

Elise Bauer has updated her overview of the weblog tools market. Besides all the facts and figures, Elise points out some very cogent points about the market for tools:

As we move forward, distinguishing the different dynamics in the consumer, small business, and the corporate markets will become more important, as customers in these segments are using blog tools for different reasons and have different needs.

More relevant to Professional Network members is the observation made about corporate deployments of blog tools:

The tools that will win in this space may not actually be the best tools per se, but have the most organized sales force, the best documentation, and the best support offerings.

We agree with Elise's focuses (with an added emphasis on reliability, manageability, and strong support for professionals who work with weblogs) and appreciate the perspective on how users choose blogging tools.
