"Pro" users who are monetizing their blog should be able to figure out how to set up a self hosted Wordpress blog or hire someone to do it cheaply. It a business expense and is well worth it.

For companies who just need a blog to communicate with their customers, then a standard posterous account should be fine, and they don't need to pay for "pro" features.

What about putting an ad on Craigslist asking a freelancer to set up Wordpress and install the plugins to integrate it to Twitter and Facebook? That can be done in literally a day (longer for a custom theme), and for about $500-$1000.

That sounds like a lot of work, to be honest.

wordpress.com? (or tumblr.com or...)
