Should Blogspot.com/Blogger.com users also use another website for posting their articles?

It is a good idea to not posts all your blog posts on one blogger.com blog, and also post blog posts on Wordpress.com, and your own self-hosted WordPress blog on paid web hosting with a custom domain, and post your articles to forums, so people can continue reading some of your posts even if Blogspot.com is gone in the future.

Keeping a backup of blog posts is also important, so you can re-post lost posts to another website if Blogger/Blogspot is gone in the future.

Blogger/Blogspot is owned by Google. Google closed down a lot of their websites like Google Plus, Orkut Social network, Google Buzz, and Google Reader.

I think there is a chance that Google may close down Blogspot/Blogger someday like their other social networking like Orkut and Google Plus, and micro-blogging websites like Google Buzz.

Never hurts to have a backup.

Using your own .com domain name for blogspot is also a good idea since you can easily move your blog posts to Wordpress, and connect your domain name to your Wordpress blog, and use the same domain.

I am not so sure but that would defeat the purpose.
It's kinda confusing but it can go either way.
