Wordpress fans from far and wide congregated this weekend in San Francisco for WordCamp 2008. There is some great coverage in a live blogging style over at The Web Life. One of the interesting tidbits that I found over there was a list of the top 10 Wordpress plugins.
Here’s a quote:
For every feature that we could add to Wordpress, there is a plugin for it. Wouldn’t it be interesting to look at the usage of these and guage where should we go with it.
They also state that there are 4.96 average plugins per blog. The most a user has installed is 1290; 526 of those are active.
I was considering joining a beer of the month club a while back but after giving it some though decided it wasn’t as practical or as fun as scheduling a monthly outing to Bevmo to stock my liquor collection with some spirits. My thought was to go monthly and purchase several beers I have never tried. I make it a point to stick to 90+ point rated beers, but can stray at times.
I also like other spirits besides beer and they will sometime find their way into my monthly process as was the case today. Below you will see a photo of today’s purchases followed by details of my choices.
Twitterlocal.net is a site that lets you find local Twitter users based on proximity to a given location. They got mentioned quite a bit on Twitter today due to a newly created leader board that shows a breakdown of locations with the most tweets over the last 24 hours. The way it works is you supply the location in the form of a zip code or city / state combo along with a selected range within # of miles and it returns a list of the top tweeters in the area.
Lifestream Blog
Tumblr was one of the first Lifestreaming services that gained popularity with it’s minimalist blogging approach with beautifully designed sites. Unfortunately I feel that they took a step backwards when they began limiting sites to only allow for 5 feeds to be imported.
Last year in my coverage I came across a very similar service called Soup.io which I feel offers richer options, support for more services, and great flexibility. If you are a fan of Tumblr, you owe it to yourself to take a look at Soup.io.
Today, Richard MacManus proclaimed it’s currently one of his favorite web services. Andy Desoto who has been writing quite a bit about Lifestreaming lately picked up on the Soup.io mention at RWW today and wrote up a good review.
