Ive been having bad thoughts about the people behind wordpress for some time now. Now it seems my fears of them getting out of the closet as the next “oh please google/yahoo buy us” company. They’re are just another group of, lets get rich quick and fuck over our user base, idiots.
Within the last few day the launched wordpress.com. Very similar to Bloggers blogspot, you’ll have your blog hosted at a *.wordpress.com domain. So what does this have to do with yahoo and google? Registred users! thats whats its all about. Like Flickr, yahoo didnt just buy Flickr because of the nice service they’ve developed, they also did it because of the registred users.
So why wont wordpress.com succeed in this plan? Well Google have blogger, and yahoo thinks they have a blogging service in their yahoo360 just like MS msn blogging thingie which I wont even talk about because itsuglyretardednotworthyofthisplanet.
I really hope that im not right about this, but im afraid theres evidence that they are all a bunch of money loving savages.
