Tools:

Blogger (http://www.blogger.com/start)
Uniblogs (http://uniblogs.org/)—an instance of WordPress blogging software
LiveJournal (http://www.livejournal.com/)
Drupal (http://drupal.org/)—content management system
Expression Engine (http://www.pmachine.com/ee/)—content management system
Word Press (http://wordpress.org/)—open source content management system
