With accounts at posterous.com, blogger.com and wordpress.com, I need to decide on a platform. One factor in deciding is the feature set of each platform, including the android client available. Here is the table of my test results:

Feature Posterous Blogger Wordpress
automatic posting to Twitter, other blogs, social networks yes, many services not possible a few services (Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo Updates, Messenger Connect)
search engine positioning of your posts poor good best
Creating a Draft on the Mobile click the tiny "i" to mark the post as private.
Later, when on the web, edit the post options (top right in a light gray, next to media) to make the post public.		 click "Save as Draft" set status as "Draft" before saving
Editing a Draft on the Mobile not possible straightforward straightforward
Drafts when Editing on the Web Save (don't publish yet) and then click Cancel. When warned about unsaved content, accept to leave the page. Click "Save", not "Publish Post". While composing, set the status to "Draft".

Browsing the web for information, I stumbled across a blog post by novel writer Emlyn Chand:  Which is better, WordPress or BlogSpot? See how they stack up here . The bottom line is: both have different strengths, it depends on your goal.
