blogger vs wordpress = sandbox vs quicksand?

Blogger makes name-dropping fun!
+ron tolbert and +O'Neil Godfrey are kinda like security. I like seeing them every day. +Dave Sutton is my G+ chum. +David Amerland is a mentor to so many. +Mark Traphagen , +Eric Enge , +Craig Fifield and so many others are mapping the uncharted territory of The Fifth Dimension.
+Mari Thomas is a lot of fun. She doesn't mind explaining stuff, and she knows what I mean when I say "What it do?" +Susanne Ramharter 's Daily Picture is always on my radar. My Electronic Muse has broadened my horizons! I haven't seen it today, and that's unusual. +R. Harlan Smith can't quite take me seriously...and that's ok. I could go on.
What's wrong with Blogger? Within thirty seconds of my first Soundcloud post to G+ from this here blog, somebody else had one up too. I think someone noticed. And for sure, I don't care if I am in the Sandbox, one good click-through deserves another. Just because it's blogger does not mean you will not be edified by its content. You might be pleasantly surprised, +Dustin W. Stout .
Despite the danger of kitties, I am going to sit in the blogspot Sandbox awhile longer, while Google figures out that it's a likely portal into the world of blogging for people with NO HTML, or any previous experience on the internet at all. Everybody's gotta start somewhere. Like I told a girl at community college: "These people were not born knowing this stuff! Calm down and give yourself a chance to succeed!"

Why shouldn't I stay in the Sandbox awhile longer?

I can sit right here and hone my chops while Google pays attention. I am in a mutually beneficial learning curve with Google. I don't mind being a koi in their pond, believe me. How long would it take me to get the kind of exposure for my kid that I've gotten in these past weeks? Maybe forever.
Google is at a point almost like Food Network. It can and does have a hand in germinating popular culture. Google has a colossal advantage over television networks of any kind, however. Google can test consumer preference in real time. Not just with those asinine hashtags, but by simply asking a question, Google can gather an inestimable amount of demographic data, both statistical and sociological. A G+ participant opts out by not engaging with a post. Simple.
Arising from the disparate people who read my blog, there are an exponential number of marketing possibilities. If Google does something unique, and asks for input regarding brands Plussers indicate they enjoy in a laid-back and friendly way, then it instantly generates the best metrics in the world: user-initiated engagement with brands they are already purchasing--with a favorable view of that product going in. Now, I could be wrong and uninformed, so,

Why should I get off the porch while I'm still just a chihuahua?

Blogger needs some TLC, sure. It's been a lonely little outlier, but we picked up right where we left off, didn't we?
