DISQUS

You have confused the open-source WordPress software with a hosted version of WordPress MU (multi-user) operated by the Automattic corporation in your first story.

WordPress is a blogging software package powered by PHP and MySQL, licensed under an open-source license (GPL), and available for download at WordPress.org. You run this downloadable version of WordPress on your own servers, such as Joyent.

Automattic operates a popular blogging site, WordPress.com, powered by the multi-user version of WordPress. The company also sells support contracts for the open-source, self-install version of WordPress and licenses premium versions of plugins and other web services. Automattic corporation has about 15 employees, including many of the core contributors to the WordPress code base.

Your story above jumps back and forth between references to the downloadable software and its most popular hosted version.

Movable Type competes with WordPress. TypePad and Vox compete with WordPress.com.

I think Toni Schneider is from Switzerland, not Germany

Small typo correction for the blog entry: it's Movable Type, not Movable Time.

Matt Marshall · 2 years ago

Ok, thanks, I've made clearer and fixed the references. Swiss, not German. Even more precise!

So what's big deal about WIMAX for laptop, this will be same as existing EVDO,HSPDA, or UMTS service. today all these flavors are available in PCMCIA card format. existing links are data through put limited at base station to 30 ~ 50 Mbits. WiMax will bring this data rate upto 75 Mbits. but there are others standards in works such as LTE and UMB that will push data 100 MBits - 300M bits levels at basestation . As user you will not see data through put more than few MBits at your laptop handset etc.., This is because RF is a shared medium. This will all boil down to which technology has the most base stations deployed. More base stations = higher bandwidth. bottom line Intel may want to push WiMax on laptop, but they will have to push enough base stations and carriers, only clearwire will not do.

Really, Matt, you're using Valleywag as a source now?

"Six Apart ... has apparently rushed out the latest release of its software with a bunch of bugs, and a memo about how to spin it has leaked to ValleyWag."

Did you even read the email? The email was from our team member encouraging us to *take the time to make sure there were no major bugs*, which we did. By the time Owen had posted the email and decided on what story to concoct about it, we'd already made the decision to take even more time to ensure the quality of the release. Which would be obvious if you'd taken the time to read the homepage for the product, which might also help with silly factual errors like confusing the names of our products with the name of our company.

Given your concern about code quality for blogging tools, you might also do well to install all four of the updates that have been made to your platform since your currently-deployed version was released -- they all contain security fixes that you ought to have in place. Or, you could simply acknowledge that all software has issues, and that it's a *good* thing when a company is addressing them, and it's profoundly intellectually dishonest to characterize an email that encourages conservatism as being a rush to ship.

As far as us "spinning"? Check out the URL on the second bogus Valleywag story you used as a source -- even when conjuring up negative stories about us, Owen acknowledged that we don't spin. I think you can do at least as well.

Anil, thanks for responding. Really sorry for the screwup; I certainly did not fully understanding what happened before the release. I did read the memo, and with surrounding context from VW. The concern was about references to how to "manage" the release with PR, and how to deal with mad developers. As someone who is so dependent on this stuff, I get bothered when I'm hit with new software that doesn't work as expected. I tried to reach you guys for comment the day before, and didn't get a response. That's why I attributed the news initially to VW.

Not sure if I did confuse the product with company. I did refer to Six Apart's bugs, but made it clear in same sentence I was referring to Movable Type.

I've updated to be clearer.
