Happy 5th Birthday to WordPress and cheers to Automattic! Thank you for providing a stable evolving flexible blogging platform for the entire world to use!
(B-Day Tuesday, 27th May 2008)
Check out the stats from Nielsen Online:
- Blogger - 34,104,000 users - up 58% from last year
- Wordpress - 11,440,000 users - up 444% from last year
- Six Apart TypePad - 10,601,000 - up 20 % from last year
- TMZ.com - 7,107,000 - up 10%
- LiveJournal - 3,366,000 - up 27%
Trailing in their dust come 6- Xanga 7- Thatsfit 8- Gizmodo 9- Autoblog 10- StyleDash 
C’mon WP fans! (Do you think it’s the scraper blogs fobbing the stats?) Comment below..
Nick Denton won’t talk to me. I’ve been after him for weeks. But the man behind the wittiest, bitchiest, most irresistible weblogs going–the gossipy Gawker and Wonkette, the gadget pageant Gizmodo, and the smut aggregator Fleshbot–is shutting me out, claiming he’s overexposed. He’s so serious about not commenting that he’s ordered his stable of blog writers not to talk to me either.
An oldie but a goodie - article about the creator of Gizmodo and his rivalry with the creator of Engadget.
Calacanis is late to the blogging game, or at least later than he was to the rise and subsequent overinflation of New York’s Silicon Alley. His strategy appears to be to exploit Denton’s weakness. Rather than paying bloggers a pittance, he’s partnering with them, letting them keep their sites and half the revenue generated by ads. His company is the Weblogs Inc. Network. Get it? WIN.

6 Reasons Steer Clear of Blog Networks
- Money - You only get part of the money!
- Guilty by Association - If the network looks bad so do you!
- Conforming - If you thrive on controversy posts consider your partners
- Inside the Square - Tunnel-vision from working with your blog partners rather than with the outside world (lack of inspiration)
- Growing Pains - Being drowned out by the big bang - network expansion may result in not receiving support
- Locked In - Did you start blogging to vent via writing? Deadlines, 1 post per day requirements, sounds like a job to me… bach humbug
(My views from the post on ProBlogger)
7 Reasons to Enter Blog Networks
- Relationships - communicate to your blog teammates through forums, chat, email lists for support all things blogging. You have already established raport by fighting for the same cause!
- Traffic - generating a loyal readership is hard work. Network blogging can offer cross-promotion and incoming links from your network allies making traffic flow a little easier.
- Expertise - are your blog skills sharp in blog platforms, marketing, net advertising, theme design and domaining? A huge help in a network of bloggers is to cry help at the top of your voice. Team work will prevail and you’ll be back on your feet in no time. Read the rest of this entry »
