1> Tumblr : Tumblr is the rapidly growing tool. It is basically focused on Sharing contents. It provides a subdomain name like you.tumblr.com and you can add your own domain to your blog, like the custom domain name feature of Blogger.

It has many EASY TO USE tools for sharing. You can share Texts, Links, Images, Videos etc. or you can compose conventional blog posts.

Moreover, Tumblr supports Adsense, and hence you can place your ads to earn some revenue from your tlog - i.e. Tumblr Blog.

2> LiveJournal : LiveJournal is an online journal service with an emphasis on user interaction. A basic, fully-functional account is free. You will get a subdomain here.

3> Yahoo! 360 : This is the blogging tool by Yahoo!. Yahoo! is world’s most popular site and it has largest user base. If you are a Yahoo! User then Yahoo! 360 is like a boon for you as it is integrated with your Yahoo! account and can be easily share with other friends and networks at Yahoo!

4> HyperWebEnable : HWE is not any blogging plateform. This service actually helps you in developing your blog or site. This uses WordPress and offers all things FREE including a free domain name (not a subdomain like others). The service is not avail to all and they select bloggers depending upon the potential of your Idea or content.

You can create your blog with all essential and advance features and you don’t need to spend even a penny. It is the best way to have self-hosted WordPess Blog. They allow Adsense and all other earning ways.

5> Windows Live Spaces : And, now the big daddy - Microsoft. Yes Guys, MSN also offers a blogging tool : Windows Live Spaces. I have found it the poorest in the features. You will get a sub-sub–domain like you.spaces.live.com and some basic blogging feature.

wordpress and blogger you can use it too.

item one is a great tool, must check and see it.
just wondering how to compare it to tweeter and facebook which are considered top social networking sites.

Seems you're in a wrong discussion. The topic is about tools in blogging.

I'm please with Wordpress being flexible and SEO friendly.

I also use word-press for blogging. It is the best tool available for blogging. Windows Live Writer is also an impressive blog editor. It provides the familiar user interface that one would expect from usual Microsoft applications.

I used blogger for my first blog but now I'm enjoying with my wordpress blog. I never try LiveJournal, I heard it's easy and free too, maybe it's time for a change.

I used blogspot.

i also used blogger and its good too.

I used both blogger and blogspot on my blogs. I never tried yet LiveJournal and Yahoo 360.

You do know that they are one and the same?

I have only ever tried wordpress. And from the research I have made it is certainly the popular choice. With a little practice it soon becomes dead easy to use and I am finding using it to be quite interesting. I will stick with wordpress for the moment. What do they say? "If it ain't broken, don't fix it".

Wordpress and blogger are the best ones, specially por people who are starting a career as bloggers, these platforms have a great simplicity.

Blog Blaster is a nice tool for your blog to get index quickly.

I have not used the item 1, 3 and 4. Thanks for sharing by the way

I think ContentSpooling don't know anything about blog platform.

i use blogspot, and it's very good

One of the blogging tools that you can use too is squidoo and weebly. I used those two and it works fine and of course wordpress will do also
