Growth of WordPress

Over on the WordPress.org blog, there's an interesting story about the growth of WordPress, the software that powers WP.com here, and the ecosystem around it.

WP.com is different from every other social platform out there because in addition to giving you ownership of your data you get ownership of the code running your data as well, you could run the same Open source software yourself, and in fact we'll even help you do it.

Open Source is like a Bill of Rights for software that protects your essential freedoms. When you bring a friend to WordPress you can do it without worry because we're building something to be around ten, twenty, thirty years from now.

If you'd like to learn more about what's happening and coming in the wider world of WordPress, check out this presentation I made:

Happy blogging. :)
