These are the words that tear you apart.
PollDaddy joined the Automattic team last year, and we have been working on adding some of our great features directly into the WordPress platform ever since.
The PollDaddy rating feature that was enabled on WordPress.com last week has really started to see some use. Over 100k blog posts, pages and comments on WordPress.com are now being rated. If you need some help getting started, check out our support page for ratings.

Here at WordPress.com, we always run the most recent version of the WordPress open source software. In addition, we do custom development so that we can offer features not included in the open source core product (like VideoPress, built-in polls, etc.). Because WordPress.com gets new features implemented as they are developed, we don’t usually talk too much about big version releases. For example, WordPress 2.8 was released recently, but we didn’t announce it here because WordPress.com…
Last month we launched the Yahoo! App and 360 importer so you can migrate your content to WordPress.com quickly and easily. And we introduced the SocialVibe widget, which helps you earn donations for the charity of your choice. July will bring more feature updates, and more of the themes and customizations you’ve been asking for. We’re listening.
Here are the stats for June:
Remember National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) back in November? You all used the opportunity to take a swing at churning out a 50,000-word novel on your blogs in only one month — some with great success!
There’s also NaBloPoMo, which has nothing to do with post-modernism, but with blogging! It stands for National Blog Posting Month.
It’s an even more fitting occasion for posting regularly to your blog on the topics that interest you. And maybe the best part is that it starts…
You spend a lot of time creating great content and attracting an audience for your blog. What if you could use that influence to make a positive social impact? Now you can.
We’ve teamed up with SocialVibe, and now by adding the SocialVibe widget to your blog, you are able to earn donations for the charity of your choice by getting sponsored by a brand that appeals to you.
Each time someone visits your blog and engages with your brand (by rating a video, for example), you’re making a…
Sorry for this being the latest wrap-up ever.
May was a fun month for us. We rolled out a ton of new features: the ability to add YouTube videos and polls to comments, stats in your time zone, the VideoPress upgrade (with HD!), post by email, new stats charts, comment search, improved comment reply by email, and VideoPress.com.
May was also the month for our largest-ever WordCamp San Francisco. Mission Bay Conference Center was a packed house, but (amazingly)…

Less than a month ago, I purchased an Apple TV for the sole purpose of installing Boxee on it and having an easy to use front end for Hulu. Fortunately that was less than 30 Days ago and I’ll be returning the Apple TV for a refund.
It saddens me that the content providers don’t understand the win/win situation they had going for them. I had actually cancelled my cable TV subscription and was able to rely completely on Hulu and an antenna for my TV viewing needs. I was legally obtaining all of my content, with commercials even. What more do these companies want from me?
Just noticed my comments aren’t working. I’ll have to fix that later.
…I’m moving. Not far though, just to Carmel. Probably a little closer to work, and a lot closer to the Monon. I got an email this morning telling me that my app had been approved so I’m going to run over to pick up my welcome pack on my lunch break. I’ve got pretty much everything ready to move, but I definitely need to get my exact move in date so I can get my utilities and uverse scheduled.
