Technology is changing everything and WordPress is becoming an increasingly-important part of those changes. Just think for a moment how, in 10 years, we’ll look back and see how important WordPress was in the expansion of blogging and content management in the early part of this century. You are a part of history if you’re a WordPress user and professional – and industries are being disrupted every single day by bloggers and content creators. Cheers! Here’s a neat look in regards to technology in general of the past and present:
Yahoo! Buys Tumblr, Thousands Head to WP
Historically, Tumblr has been somewhat of a competitor of WordPress.com. For those that use it, understand there is definitly a difference between the two, but as WordPress has done more to tighten up their ecosystem with liking posts and keeping sign-in simple when leaving comments, the two platforms have grown closer to together. This past Sunday, the news about Yahoo! acquiring Tumblr for the tune of $1.1 billion (who knew they had that much!) was blazing around the web, Tumblr users were found jumping ship. You can probably guess what ship they were found jumping, to.
Minneapolis in the WP Daily House!
We shared a little while back how neat it was that a WordCamp created a little flow chart poster for their event and they organizing team sent us a copy for our wall here at the WP Daily office! We’re stoked and now I have to get it framed somehow. Thanks guys!
WP Write: Chrome Extension for WordPress
There has been a lot of discussion about streamlining WordPress and making the publishing experience “better” – heck, even talks about forking WordPress itself, which I will never personally remotely attempt. Things like Ghost push the ticket forward a bit but are not WordPress at its core – perhaps it’s small steps that can provide some avenue of attack and perspective? What if we just took away all the “excess” and just got down to publishing itself?
Blogging with Your Phone… with Casetop?
If you joined me a few months back you might recall my adventure blogging with just my Smartphone and a Bluetooth Keyboard. I managed to get by but it was always a case of getting by and not unnoticeable or thriving. However a new Kickstarter project might just be a way to change things from surviving to thriving.
