There is a future with those things called WordPress plugins, you know?!? I’m obviously being a bit facetious as many of us know that the plugin world is one that’s growing as well as the business marketplace around it. In fact, some like Pippin Williamson who’s been a part of this community here has made their entire living off of a handful of well developed plugins, like Easy Digital Downloads.

But this partnership with Cart66 is pretty neat and one that’s probably the first of many new partnerships to come from other players I would imagine:

That’s what it sounds like via Joost de Valk’s post this morning as he announced that he’s looking for more help as it pertains to the community forums that sometimes can get overrun (I wonder if this article by ManageWP had anything to do with this recent announcement: Is WordPress SEO by Yoast Broken?): Starting in August, we’ll start offering a premium version of the plugin, including support (as in, you’ll get a direct email address and we’ll reply to your questions as soon as we can), at a yearly fee, starting from $89 for a single site to $349 […]

Evan Solomon, who left Automattic back in January of this year, has found a new watering hole (and work) with Medium, a much-talked about blogging platform by Evan Williams and co. (We showcased an interview via Kevin Rose and Evan Williams yesterday, btw.) He announced it on his blog about his move and we’ve been pinged a number of times already by our community as well: Today was my first day as an employee at Medium. I’ve been doing contract work for about two months, but last Friday I accepted an offer to join full time. I’m excited and I want […]
