You can now become a WordPress fan on Facebook. I wonder how many FB users also use WordPress? ¶

I would be one of them!

There’s also already a page for WordPress Hackers (the mailing list):

Done.

I think the question is, how many people are savvy enough to use WordPress as their blogging platform without the need of using any of these social networks. Wasn’t it you Matt who said, the best place to find out about a particular person is their blog?

I think more than if you do that question on MySpace =P

I’m not. Just cancelled my fb-account. I figured i don’t need, the blogosphere does it for me.
Great work, by the way.

In my experience, almost every wordpress user I’ve met also has a facebook account (including myself). Therefore many FB users = WP users. And it’s worth saying to WP’s credit, you don’t have to be super savvy to use WP, and to me, that’s what makes WP so wonderful.

Or how many WordPress users disdain Facebook.
Morydd | November 28th, 2007 @ 6:15 pm |
Is the implication that you believe that Facebook users are too dumb to use WordPress, or that WordPress is that much more difficult to use than Facebook?
Cody | November 28th, 2007 @ 6:25 pm |
Seems like certain Facebook users misconstrued your “savvy” comment…
Geof F. Morris | November 28th, 2007 @ 9:19 pm |
Oh Matt, you didn’t just hate on FB users, did you? ‘Cause see, I’m a part of the set that uses both. [Admittedly, I've used WP longer, since I remember 0.72.]
There are people older than 23 on FB.
Kara M. | November 28th, 2007 @ 9:49 pm |
Done and done.
Cody | November 28th, 2007 @ 10:38 pm |
To clarify: I think Matt was wondering how many Facebook users know about WordPress, not how many know how to use it.
Morydd | November 29th, 2007 @ 7:59 am |
I see that rather than respond to the fact that he insulted a few million potential (and existing) WordPress users, Matt chose to quietly edit the post.
Christian Mohn | November 29th, 2007 @ 8:04 am |
When you edit a post after publishing, wouldn’t it be “ethical” to point it out? Especially when not just fixing typos?
I am amused that

I wouldn’t say I use Facebook, but I have an account there…so now I’m a fan of WordPress, too! (Coincidently enough, you can become a fan of Surpass Hosting, my webhost, on FB, too. There’s even a group to join. Go figure.)
Cyndy | November 29th, 2007 @ 8:35 am |
Oh, I just saw: There’s a WordPress group, too!
Matt | November 29th, 2007 @ 11:22 am |
Sorry I thought I had left a comment earlier but I didn’t hit submit. My wording was off, my intention was more what Cody was saying, not calling Facebook users dumb, as I’m one myself.

@Jeff, I wouldn’t say that anyone has to be savvy to use wordpress. I do wordpress and facebook. Facebook makes networking so much easier. I worry about the future of privacy in social networking sites, however.

Signed up as well. Proud WP user, willing to show it off to anyone.

I moderately use FB to keep track of, and find, old friends. I think 95% of stuff on FB are useless, including a “WP Fan page”. I don’t see any point in it.
Keith | November 30th, 2007 @ 6:29 am |
Same as Jake ^^
Benjamin | December 1st, 2007 @ 8:11 am |
I became the 800th fan, so there must be a few FB WP users
Paul | December 1st, 2007 @ 12:24 pm |
I am like “Ozh” where I use facebook “also known as CrackBook” to keep in touch with friends as I live in the High Arctic in Canada. I had a blog with MSN but was tired of their service so I found wordpress. I set it up on my server and away we go. Wordpress is the best…. I can make it like I want it to be without some administrator telling me I can’t do that….
