I'm wondering if anyone in forums has tried the new imeem service, and has an opinion on it.I'm thinking of trying it, but I realize it requires a software download, and that makes me feel a bit cautious. I want to try to get family members involved, but I'm nervous recommending a new piece of software. On the other hand, the privacy features sound attractive. If imeem is problematic, what are the best ways of having a blog? It seems that we have a lot of choices out there.
