Another head-scratcher. Why are no hosting shops selling blogging tools and no (few) blogging shops selling hosting?

whither email

So I am now completely convinced that all SPs are missing a huge opportunity with email.

Right now as an industry we all sell access or hosting and give away email. This makes no sense yet we all do it. Why? Because we all do it. I am not being facetious with that answer. It is the answer given to me by just about every SP that I have put the question to.

Email is the well accepted killer app of the Internet. Every Internet user knows how to and needs to use it. 10% of Internet users have websites. Even fewer are able to easily use and create them. Yet that is what we lead with.

I will have more to say about this soon, but for now want to post this to see how our new blog tool works.
