The gist:
We run a web service called leenk.me and would love for you to use it. We have tried to price this service as low as possible, while still attempting to put food on the table. Our basic service is 33 cents a month (billed at 99 cents every three months), and we offer additional upgrades for advanced features such as multi-domain connectivity. Our service is designed to give you as much control and ownership over what your site shares socially as possible. However, be responsible in what you publish.
(Note, Automattic Inc. decided to make the below Terms of Service available under a Creative Commons Sharealike license, which means you’re more than welcome to steal it and repurpose it for your own use, just make sure to replace references to us with ones to you, and if you want they’d appreciate a link to WordPress.com somewhere on your site. They spent a lot of money and time on the below, and other people shouldn’t need to do the same.)
