  At a risk for the services if your provider changes conditions
  of use. Not a good idea if you are to invest a lot of time 
  and effort into your services. A much better idea is to use
  more old-fashioned methods (web site, blogs, mailing lists)
  for which open-source software is available, and run them
  on a a couple of rented servers, cost $200 or so a month. 

  Cheers,
