    So they’ll be sending us those invites we signed up for on the WordPress.com homepage?

  • Matt August 15, 2005 @ 4:37 pm

    Not quite yet, way too many people signed up already! We’re looking for a smaller test at this point.

    How about you give one to everyone who has left a comment on your site ;) Just curious though, what will these invites give us? Whats on wordpress.com…???

  • Anthony August 16, 2005 @ 1:05 am

    Anyone care to explain what’s going on? I’m way too confused.

  • Roy Schestowitz August 16, 2005 @ 2:23 am

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s a mechanism similar to GMail invites. With spam blogs being endemic, one needs to gain control over who creates can blogs, as well as how many. It is a novel idea, in my humble opinion, which can result in a highly-reputed network of blogs. It would attract the best bloggers from junk networks (I will not mention names).

    Let me guess … invite-only social network blogging platform, like blogsome.com with an orkut touch ?

  • Steve August 16, 2005 @ 3:34 am

    My hunch is that wp.com will be a subscription system, ala TypePad. I kinda hope I’m wrong though, that’s soo boring (and useless to moi). I hope it’s something cooler.

    Well, WP has been one of the best things that’s ever happened to me, so I’ll follow any project related to it to the ends of the internet. I’m jazzed to see what Matt’s got cooking.

  • Steve August 16, 2005 @ 3:46 am

    Suddenly the wp.com homepage has changed..I guess my hunch was right :)

  • Andrew August 16, 2005 @ 5:02 am

    It sounds as though Matt and others are seeding the invite field, with an invite giving you one blog plus one invite to pass along. I started making my case for an invite yesterday evening.

  • GPS August 16, 2005 @ 5:16 am

    Hmmm… this is sounding googlicious.

  • Mick Kolby August 16, 2005 @ 7:33 am

    WordPress has always been fun and exciting, and this is making it even more so.

  • paul August 16, 2005 @ 8:42 am

    Think GMAIL

    pass a word press blog on

    quite nifty

  • filipensses August 16, 2005 @ 9:29 am

    Why should we sign up without having a clue as to what for?

    I keep asking myself the same thing…but I still think it’s blog hosting (I signed anyway as I still don’t have a host…).

    I already have signed up when the page was not yet up. Will I get an invitation? Or have I to sign up again?

  • Dan da Man August 16, 2005 @ 7:30 pm

    I don’t really want to get an invite, I guess. I’d rather see a working version of the WordPress Multi-User package that it’s running. And install it for my friends on my server.

  • Michael Whalen August 16, 2005 @ 11:16 pm

    I understand the invite idea and its similarity to that of Gmails, but what service is wordpress.com going to offer? Im with monkeypup on this one, can’t wait to see what it is.

  • dandyna August 17, 2005 @ 12:06 am

    please invite me i need it like oxygen

  • danithew August 17, 2005 @ 3:04 am

    I’d like to have an invite, if I may be so bold.

  • Roy Schestowitz August 17, 2005 @ 5:13 am

    I wonder if there’s a place for invites trading on eBay. I guess it’s only a matter of time… or even PageRank.

  • CarLBanks August 17, 2005 @ 9:32 am

    Matt is just tormenting us on the invites. I’m waiting to get in.

  • dandyna August 17, 2005 @ 5:22 pm

    Matt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh Matt please, everything for an invite ;)

  • danithew August 20, 2005 @ 2:44 am

    The new look for WordPress.com is very nice and now it is certainly obvious that it is a host for free WordPress blogs. I once again plead with the Mattmeister for an invite.

  • Suzanne Grissel August 23, 2005 @ 10:38 am

    I need an invite…desperately! :( Lol

  • anton August 25, 2005 @ 10:57 pm

    hi matt, can you give me an invite, please….

  • Dudm August 28, 2005 @ 12:29 pm

    Please hook me up with an invite. email: tehdsf@gmail.com Thanks!
