“Microsoft has never invested a lot in their blogs.  It’s ok to say that SharePoint isn’t the best blogging platform.” – Joel Oleson

“In fact I don’t shed a tear when I say it’s not the best wiki either.  There are point solutions out there that are better than SharePoint and most SharePoint consultants will stand up and admit it.” – Joel Oleson
