As a product I was always impressed by the just email, no setup approach.
With the current trend towards people posting one-off or irregular essays instead of full-featured blogs, it seems as if they veered away from the simple email posting route too soon.
What was once an interesting approach to blogging was pivoted into a samey metaservice with nothing notable for me.
IMHO, as a product, this is where they lost their way. This is when I stopped caring. Yet maybe this is where they had to go for a successful exit (read $$$). I don't know.
