WORDPRESS AWARDED BEST WEB APPLICATION OF THE YEAR

Runners-up: Facebook, Crazy Egg, Gmail, Google Docs

.net’s final award is for the Web Application of the Year – awarded to the tool that arguably brings more to the web experience than any other app. This year, the winner is WordPress.

Beating off very stiff competition from the likes of Google Docs, WordPress has claimed the crown, representing another victory for open source software (and for blogging).

WordPress’ founder and original developer, Matt Mullenweg, took time out from his busy schedule to talk to .net: “The last year has been a whirlwind,” he says. “It’s almost impossible to keep up.”

It’s not just WordPress’ phenomenal growth he’s talking about either – though WordPress is part of it, Mullenweg feels that the power of the internet is beginning to reveal itself in full: “There feels like a confluence of things around web technologies, which are coming together to enable us to do the things we always wanted to do.”

As for WordPress, it’s been growing at a rate of knots. Wordpress.com, the hosted weblogs side of the company, has grown amazingly: “We went from 1.5 million visits to 100 million,” he says. “Last month, it was just over 100 million visits.” Accordingly, Wordpress.com is now one of the top 20 sites in the US.

New version
WordPress the application, meanwhile, has seen some big changes and is due to see more.

“This year was interesting,” says Mullenweg. “In 2006, we didn’t really release anything [saving updates for major releases]. In 2007, we released a new version every three months.

“The big feature coming is the next release – [version] 2.4. We’ve already added widgets, taxonomy and so on, but the next release will be a complete redesign.”

At least partially, the focus will be on ease of use: “It’s still too difficult to use, even though it’s been a success,” he says.

On winning the award, Matt Mullenweg is gracious, faintly embarrassed even: “I’m humbled. It’s not something I was expecting. I’ll have to visit England more,” he laughs.
