Wired Cites WordPress as Acquisition Bait
WordPress, the insanely extensible and customizable open-source content management system that powers this blog, has been tagged by Wired magazine as acquisition bait in its January 2007 isssue.
The new de rigueur blog-management software, WordPress is favored by the majority of high-traffic posters. One caveat: It’s open source and unlikely to accept a corporate come-on.
Personally, I don’t think WordPress needs some big corporate owner to slow it down. It has long risen to the top of the blog software heap on its own, powered by its incredibly active developer community. With the rise of problogging, WordPress doesn’t need a centralized business model to drive its development — developers tweak it to make better blogs that can make more money, and those who package and release those tweaks gain fame and could make even more money. Mammals don’t need to be chained to dinosaurs.

Filipina Models Blogging
As Alodia Gosiengfiao and Shoko Nakagawa have proven, blogging is good for your modeling career. That’s why these girls are on the right track.
Check out UrFame, a group of Filipina models blogging on WordPress and photoblogging on Flickr.
We are a group of models from the Philippines who believe in group communication and whose photographic projects you see here are self-contained.
We photograph each other and do our own hairstyles and make-up applications. We use the principle of group consensus to decide what kinds of photographic styles we use, and about details of the individual photographs we take and display.
Self-published babes rock. They should videoblog on YouTube, too. They could even become Filipino YouTube Directors.
