Blogger isn't the winner of the blog engine wars anyway. That would be WordPress, which is open source and now runs about one in five websites.

It's fun to imagine a world in which Blogger was open sourced, with the core developers working for Google. Would WordPress have "won" in that alternate universe?

Care to cite that "one in five" figure?

I did: just follow the link.

I've seen different figures (http://trends.builtwith.com/cms/WordPress), but I'd say 1 in 5 doesn't sound too far off, though perhaps it's a little exaggerated.

In a long tail world, it only really matters if you're in the tail or the "body". If you're in the body, there's no big difference if you're 1 in 5 or 1 in 50 - you're huge.
