My new blog is self hosted wordpress blog, but free blogging websites are still dominating. You can set your custom domain on these blogs but absolutely free is something different. There are more than 100 absolutely free sites which are specially for blogging but only some of them are famous and well known because their creators are working always to improve user experience.
Blogger was created by Pyra Labs in 1999 and in 2006 it was acquired by Google, Till 2006 is was known as blogspot.com and still blogger hosted blogs has blogspot.com as main URL. Blogger is now a Google service and Google is still working on it to make it more useful. Perhaps blogger is easiest platform to create a blog and many people create blogs on blogger because they can show adsense ads or some other advertising programs and earn some money.
There are two wordpress one is wordpress.org and other is wordpress.com, both are known as wordpress but wordpress.org provides us wordpress CMS tool for self hosted wordpress blogs and wordpress.com provides us space for creating free blogs as a subdomain of wordpress.com.
Wordpress CMS tool was launched in 2003 and wordpress for creating free blog was launched in 2005.
Wordpress is most influencing and superior platform for blogging, comparing to blogger.
Tumblr is well known as tumbleblog, it was launched in 2007. Tumblr is like Twitter an d used as microblogging platform but now it is emerging as regular blogging platform. People use Tumblr in both purpose as microblogging and blogging platform.
