Yes, I admit I missed that last sentence.
However, I think your contention that they didn't want the service is wrong, since they are still running it. Swing on over to http://www.weblogs.com and see for yourself.
You may think it was a dumb decision on their part. (I do. Weblogs.com did its thing back when the weblog world numbered in the hundreds or few thousands, but even pre-Twitter it was pretty obviously increasingly worthless at the time it was sold. Even if the tech side scaled, the social side did not.) But clearly they did want it, and still do want it enough to continue running it. (Though I wouldn't be surprised it gets shut down any day now...)
