Automattic turns 20 this month, and we’re celebrating with a look at the stats behind the story.  First up: @WordPress powers 43% of all websites across the internet. That’s a number worth celebrating. And we’re just getting started.
I've got too many ideas. Vibe coding, vibe marketing, vibe video, vibe music, vibe design, vibe art—it's all kicking off and my brain’s overheating. If you’re not waking up at 5am, buzzing and slightly terrified, you're missing the moment. I need my AI team in place today. Not…
Just dropped: The new, free AI website builder on WordPress.com! Tell AI what you need + get a fully built website in minutes: 🪄 No coding. No drag-and-drop. No stress. 🪄 AI handles the layout, images, and text. 🪄 You can tweak anything—just ask AI! 🧵
Nuanced conversation on the Wordpress hubbub with @photomatt and @lennysan. I’ve always admired Matt’s dedication to open source values. Very few CEOs illustrate this level of conviction in a broader mission.
It was a pleasure to meet the Asia WordPress Community (and many more from all over the World) once again.
It’s Day 2 of @WordCampAsia, and @p3ob7o just hit the stage for the Solutions Spotlight to talk all things Jetpack! If you’re here in Manila, don’t forget to stop by our booth—you’ll find us easily... just follow the smell of coffee! ☕ #wcasia2025

This is actually bullshit. Agree with him or not, the court is forcing an open source maintainer into providing services to a user. What’s next, a company finds a bug and a court orders a maintainer to fix it?
Well, this is exciting—Communities are here! Connect with others over what you love most, in public or in private. Read all about it ➡️ tumblr.at/communities
WPAI is now part of Automattic! Together, we’re building smarter, faster, and more intuitive WordPress experiences.
In case you wondered, yes, WordPress is still growing.
According to @W3Techs, @WordPress just hit another all-time high for market share. #WordPress is now used by 43.67% of all websites. 🤩 We were at 42.81% this time last year. 2024 has been a great growth year, especially internationally. Anyone else excited for 2025? 45% market…
One of the perks of working at @automattic 🤩
Random idea: if you need a motorcade to go around the city, any city, maybe just stay home and use Zoom to meet other people who also need motorcades?
We couldn't be more excited to share our acquisition of Harper, the lightning-fast grammar checker for developers, and a warm welcome to the mastermind behind it, Elijah Potter. So many exciting things to come! Read all about it here: automattic.com/2024/11/21/aut….
