I went with WordPress' package, but I host it on pairNIC because WordPress had a similar reputation.<br /><br />We've also known Google had no respect for anyone's privacy ever since it was exposed as reading everyone's gmail to collect marketing and marketable data on the users. There's no reason to believe employees' privacy would matter any more to such as these.<br /><br /><i>China's new "social Reputation Index"</i><br /><br />This may prove a two-edged sword.
