I don’t claim to be a social networking expert, but as someone who has spent quite a bit of time thinking about end-to-end user experience and how companies can best use social services like Twitter to their best advantage, I decided to see how two of the biggest names in blogging use Twitter to support their brand identity.

I’ve been a WordPress user ever since Six Apart (who I’ll talk about a bit later) introduced paid licensing plans for Movable Type a few years ago. Since then I’ve gone back and forth between the systems usually at a rate of about once per year just to compare the feature sets, ease of use, and overall reliability of the two services. I suppose you could say I prefer WordPress for blogging because I keep coming back to it; however, there have been some very real improvements with Movable Type 4.2, so much so that I’m seriously considering either switching this blog to MT 4.2, or using MovableType ...
