Comments from those who selected it as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008

• "I use my blog to reflect on what I'm learning, to add to the conversation about particular topics, and to store ideas and materials that I want to remember. It's an essential part of my personal knowledge management system. I chose to host it on my own webspace as then I control the data within it. It's too important to be left to a free service. And I don't need to pay someone to host it. I chose b2evolution for its flexibility. It's a multi-user, multi-blog system. Very similar to WordpressMU but far easier to install and configure."  Mark Berthelemy

• "I know Wordpress is a very good blogging platform, but I've worked with b2evolution for a few years now and have found it incredibly stable and capable - and very well supported. It's designed, from the ground up, to offer multiple blogs to multiple individuals and groups. If people are looking for a platform to support reflective CPD I always point them here."  Mark Berthelemy
• "the OS platform that hosts my blog - an important part of my virtual profile, keeping my projects, reflections, studies, conversations with my community in blogosphere, with partners in current and future projects"  Carmen Holotescu
