Schweet Wordpress.com Redesign
The Wordpress redesign is really looking good. (home pagewise, havent seen how deep it goes) There's no doubt in my mind Wordpress is the world's best blog platform. The open source community around it really means the platform always moves forward. It's at the front end where it needs to beat the commercial players. If Wordpress (and WPMU) also got aggregation, filtering, search and social networking elements at a meta level working, then it would really be kranking. The schweet looking redesign is definitely a sign of where it's going.
Co-Founder Photo Matt : "Why blog posts matter — 91% of the people who came to the permalink for yesterday’s post visited WordPress.com to see the new design. Online advertising is usually thrilled to get a 1-2% clickthrough rate. This is why I believe that online advertising as we know it is going to have to change dramatically in the next decade, beacuse the folks who matter are blocking it out, emotionally and technically. The shifting of money is also going to be the biggest threat to people media (blogs, etc)."
As TecoSystems says well "Biggest Community Wins" which Matt had linked to : "My bias is rather towards solutions that have the most vibrant communities behind them. Back when we chose Movable Type, in fact, I did consider WordPress and went instead with MT because at the time I felt it had the best community around it. I picked, in other words, community over open source. And honestly, I have very few regrets about that decision, despite our pending migration."
