1 - Congratulations! I hope you all the luck for the project. We have the capacity. So, why make it only for Portugal and not with international vision? Regards, André (Comment this)

2 - Looking sharp (no pun intended)! Congrats! Mind the question (and the unappropriate timing): why a new blogging tool (refering to ZOQ, obviously) and what's wrong with Wordpress, for example? (Comment this)

3 - I'm not sure if I understood your first question correctly. Did you ask why a new blogging tool besides ZOQ. Blog.com uses the ZOQ platform (with some refactoring here and there).

Why not Wordpress? Wordpress is a great tool but it's more CMS oriented than Blog oriented. It lacks a lot of features we need like bandwith limits, quotas, account upgrades, payments, ... and has a lot of stuff that we don't need.

Besides that, we know our platform very well. We know its limitations and its potential.

This and many more reasons have already been answered in this older post: http://www.andrerestivo.com/weblog/5609/ (Comment this)

4 - What I mean't to ask was really why "Yet Another Blogging Tool" (it wasn't specifically related with using it on blog.com), but you answered it all the same :) (Comment this)

6 - I just have something to appoint... Those colours... Too agressive for the eyes... It's my marketing director side... But it is really nice. Congratulations! (Comment this)
