WordPress hits 2,000,000 ( 2 Million Blogs!) Mark.

December 17, 2007

Sometime in the next 24 hours it looks as if the wordpress.com platform is going to hit the 2,000,000 mark. So what does that tell you? For one, that Matt & company are doing a great job offering constant updates, patches, and community cohesiveness.

i, for 1, really like wordpress.com, i just wish hey would let more html, adsense, video, and forum support into the picture. Hopefully in 2008, unlil then, thanks anf great job, wordpress!

Have you Googled yourself lately? According to a survey (PDF) by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, there is a good chance you have.

The survey, released Sunday, found that 47 percent of Internet users have searched for themselves through Google - up from 22 percent in 2002. Only 3 percent of those searching for themselves on Google claim to do it on a regular basis, with 22 percent claiming to search for themselves “every once in a while.” A majority of 74 percent said they have searched for themselves once or twice.

Another interesting tidbit from the Pew survey is 53 percent of Internet users have Googled someone else’s name. Reasons include reconnecting with past friends (36 percent), searching about a coworker (19 percent) or a job applicant (11 percent), or even finding information about someone they are dating (9 percent). >>>Gimme More!
