WordPress – platform of choice among Top 100 blogs
Which blog platform is the top choice for those in the Technorati Top 100 blogs?
Royal Pingdom decide to put this to the test, and found that among blog software:
-
WordPress is used by 27 blogs in the top 100.
-
Movable Type is used by 12 blogs in the top 100.
-
Only 8 of the top 100 blogs use a custom-made blog platform.
-
Drupal is the only general-purpose CMS with any presence worth mentioning, with 4 blogs in the top 100.
Surprise, surprise - Very few WordPress blogs in the top 100 have updated to WP 2.7 so far !! I found this quite surprising since most blogs in this list are corporate or group / network blogs and updating/upgrading to new versions should have been a given.
Likewise, among blogging services (hosted), the order is:
-
Typepad
-
WordPress.com
-
Blogger
There are some more insights along with a graph and of course a list of the Top 100. It was nice to see the list of Top 100 blogs as well (including some I’d never heard of), as I hardly look at Technorati nowadays anyway.
Head over to the Royal Pingdom blog and check out the complete analysis.
