Switching blog software

Switching from Blogger to Wordpress so I have a bit more control. I’m not very satisfied with the rate that Blogger is adding new features and I don’t really see any benefit to using it anymore. Also it is suddenly starting to scare me how much Google knows about me from all the services I am using or have tried: Google Search Engine, Blogger, Calendar, Docs, Gmail, Groups, Picasa, Reader, Sites, Talk, Youtube, Maps, Chrome, Desktop, Health and Notebook..

There are many products they have that I really enjoy, but how much information do they have about me at this point? Should a company that lives of advertising know this much about anyone?

I will definitely still use many of their products, but recently I’ve realized that I like having more control over my own stuff, more than I do at the moment anyway, also I think Google is lacking focus with what they are doing…They keep launching betas of new things instead of improving what they already have.

Anyway, it’s nice to have a blogging software that is more open, with loads of themes and plugins again.
