Do you have a "data liberation" type policy? Eg, if someone wanted all their content, how do they get it out?
I've gotten burned by that before with Blogger and Posterous, and now use Octopress for this reason. Open to better alternatives, but need a clear and easy way to get my content back out if I ever decide to change services.
My idea of the perfect system would be something hosted that would allow me to have a shared folder in Dropbox, Google Drive or something like that. It would have two folders, drafts and posts, and putting a markdown file in either would publish it as a draft or a post.
I've looked at a few static site generators, but there are some dynamic things I want to do, so, for now, my own, custom-built blogging engine (http://stavros.io for the curious) is what works best for me.

You have full ownership over your data and can export at any time.
I had my eye on this, but the blog hasn't been updated for nearly 18 months so it's probably dead.
