WordPress Now Powers More Than 50 Million Sites
Open source blogging platform WordPress has reached an important milestone: It powers more than 50 million websites, about half of which are hosted on WordPress.com.
Also, more than 287 million people view more than 2.5 billion pages on WordPress.com each month and, on an average day, WordPress.com users create about 500,000 new posts and 400,000 new comments, according to WordPress’ official stats.
Recently, WordPress competitor Tumblr surpassed 20 million blogs, passing WordPress.com in terms of the number of blogs hosted on the platform.
However, unlike Tumblr, WordPress lets users install and use the platform on their own web host. Due to the simplicity and versatility of the platform, WordPress isn’t only used to power blogs, it can also be used for running various types of personal, business and community websites.

Business Book: Little Bets by Peter Sims
Little Bets describes a set of simple yet often counterintuitive experimental methods to explore and develop new ideas, in work and life…
What is a “little bet”?
Little bets are a way to explore and develop new possibilities. Specifically, a little bet is a low-risk action taken to discover, develop, and test an idea. Chris Rock develops new comedy routines by making little bets with small audiences; Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos makes small bets to identify opportunities in new markets like cloud computing. Little bets are at the center of an approach to get to the right idea without getting stymied by perfectionism, risk-aversion, or excessive planning.
How is this approach different from and better than the typical way most people do something new?
We’re taught from an early age to use certain procedures and rules to analyze and solve problems, such as for math or chemistry. There’s an emphasis on minimizing errors and avoiding failure. These skills serve us extremely well when we have enough information to put into a formula or plan. But what happens when we don’t even know what problems we’re trying to solve? In those kinds of situations, engaging in a process of discovery and making little bets complements more linear, procedural thinking.
Ipad 2 Sneak Peek!
* Dual-core A5 processors to improve speed — graphics will run up to 9x faster while using the same battery life.
* Front and rear-facing cameras. Rear camera is 720p resolution, front is “VGA quality” — it’s meant to be used for Facetime chat primarily, so quality isn’t that big a deal.
* Gyroscope for position-based apps.
* 33% thinner than the first iPad at 0.34″. It’s 9.5″ high and 7.3″ wide.
* Lighter, at 1.33 pounds versus 1.6 pounds for the current iPad.
* Starts at the same price: $499. So it won’t be dramatically cheaper as some had proposed. It also comes in the same models as the current version: Wi-Fi and 3G (Verizon or AT&T) in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB sizes.
* It ships on March 11 in the U.S. — that’s less than two weeks away. March 25 in the rest of the world.
