Blogging Datapoint of the Day
WordPress is now the No. 2 most-visited blog host, passing rival SixApart's TypePad last month, according to the latest tally from Nielsen Online.
WordPress is the anti-MySpace. It's clean, easy to use, easy to read, and generally does everything you want a blogging tool to do. You can import blogs very easily from the likes of Blogger, LiveJournal, and Moveable Type; what's more, you can export your blog in a non-proprietary XML format even more easily. The only thing WordPress doesn't do, and this is very annoying, is allow its free users to serve up full RSS feeds which include everything after the "jump".
WordPress came very late to the blogging party, which is why its growth is so impressive. Blogger, with the full weight of Google behind it, grew 58% year-on-year; WordPress, by contrast, grew 444%.
According to Frommer, WordPress's executives are cashing out a little: good for them. They've made a hugely successful and excellent product, they deserve it.
