On the "posts can be made private" line--on Twitter, you can make all your posts public, or all your posts private. You can do exactly the same on Blogger.

On Wordpress, you can password protect the post, or set it so that only logged in users can see specific content (a friend of mine does the latter for some but not all of his content).

Based on that, I'd say that either Twitter needs the X removing or blogs need the X adding. Or the line needs splitting into two as the granularity allowed by LJ/DW, G+ and FB is much better than that allowed by Twitter and most other blog platforms.
