When selecting online services, the following are important:
1) Is the service affordable? Is there a basic version which is free? How much commercial branding in the free version?
2) How well does the service import content from other services?
3) How well does the service do what you want done? No service is useful unless you have a need.
4) How well does the service present the captured content? Does the service allow presentation of undecorated content? Does the service allows the content to be presented on your existing web site or blog?
5) How well does the service export content to other services? No service is so good you want you content locked into that service.
6) How large is the company behind the service and how large is the user community for the service?
