Hi all,
I am giving a talk next week about using wordpress.com for blogging.
While preparing my talk, a friend asked me why wordpress and not blogger. I thought the reason was simple, but after checking I found it is not any more. Reading online, I could find some strong features that blogger.com offers that wordpress.com doesn't (like *FREE* adding of javascript, editing of themes, and mapping domains into the blog).
A long list of comparison was found here (updated to 2010):

A discussion is running here:

And also a few people commented on the subject here:

So far, I am not sure I have a strong enough reason the defend WordPress over blogger. If anyone here would be willing to give me strong reasons (either new features that will get unveiled in the near future, or why some points are more important then others) - it would be a huge help.
Thanks.
