what will it be about?
Matt | July 26th, 2005 @ 2:13 pm |
Well that’s what people are going to find out.

To all the Skeltoacs in the world: Ha! I beat you to it!

So I’m wondering, what are we going to have there? Just kidding =P I look forward to it =)

I’m pretty sure its going to be a blog community with WordPress Mu. Or maybe not
Matt | July 26th, 2005 @ 4:03 pm |
I heard it’s going to blog for you so you don’t have to worry about what to write.

“I heard it’s going to blog for you so you don’t have to worry about what to write.”
You take all the phun out of life. Spending those agonising 10 minutes working out what to write, giving up, then remembering exactly what it was, at 3am, will be rendered redundant..

Maybe .com will be related to COMmercial uses of WordPress (a developer’s network, say). Just throwing it out there!
coolger | July 26th, 2005 @ 6:00 pm |
Why not start a BSP at the .com site?
skeltoac | July 26th, 2005 @ 6:01 pm |
Noooo!
But seriously. MU? Autoblogging? Please. A little bird told me WordPress.com will be nothing short of a monumental shift in the way the internet is used. Think “next great American novel” big. GreaseJAX on Rails, baby! Fully Vista compliant.

You mean like this?

So, was the domain “released” or “transferred.” By my understanding, one means it can be redirected to another domain without notice by the domain broker, while the other means true “ownership” by the definition used by ICANN. Just wanting to make sure everything’s covered.
Matt | July 26th, 2005 @ 10:18 pm |
It was transferred, it’s in my name now: http://whois.sc/wordpress.com .
Daniel Schildt | July 27th, 2005 @ 8:15 am |
Title of the page says “WP.com” but looks like the real WP.com (like said in http://whois.sc/wp.com ) belongs to Yahoo!
Interesting to see what this new website will be.
Matt | July 27th, 2005 @ 8:38 am |
Yes I’ve contacted Yahoo! about that domain but needless to say they think it’s pretty valuable. In a few years when WordPress acquires Yahoo (and Google) I’m sure it’ll be part of the deal.

I was right
