WordPress.com Open to Everyone. Will This Kill Off Blogger?


By Alice Hill

One of our contributors, John Tintle, has been covering WordPress.com, the hosted alternative to Blogger for some time. He has also written up a great review of the platform. Some of the exciting new features he mentioned include “AJAX scripts, a rich WYSIWYG environment that allows you to drag and drop photos or images into your posts, and a new and improved Dashboard that allows users not only to check on the Top 5 blogs on WordPress.com, but up and coming blogs too.” John was also nice enough to offer sponsors of RealTechNews a free invitation to the closed beta testing phase of this project.

But today the news is official. WordPress.com is live and open to everyone!

John Adds: Actually Alice, Matt Mullenweg, founder of WordPress, said he would open up registration for “a bit”. So this may mean it is opened for a short time to help test the scalability of the WordPress.com servers. With that said, if anyone wanted a WordPress.com blog now is the time to get it.
