Crunchies Win
The Crunchies were tonight, and we were fortunate enough to win in two categories, WordPress for Most Likely to Succeed and Toni Schneider for a well-deserved Best Startup CEO. My heart was racing a thousand beats a minute going up to the stage, which never happens anymore, but I think because there were so many people I knew, and so many startups that I liked there, that it was different. Congratulations to the entire WordPress community for this win. Just wait until they see 2.5.

Well done to all concerned. This came as no surprise to most of us. Version 2.5 is keenly awaited by everyone. Judging from what I have managed to find to read on this new version, it is going to be worth the wait.
