Study shows WordPress is #1

WordPress is Popular!

A new study has found WordPress to be the most popular blogging platform among users who like to share content online.
Research conducted by SocialTwist found that 45 per cent of social media users prefer the open source publishing application to its main rivals.  Blogger was the most popular alternative to the program – which was first developed in 2003 – followed by LiveJournal.  Other programs including TypePad, MoveableType and Xanga are all infrequently used by social media sharers, the study indicated.

When it comes to blogging services, WordPress with 45 percent and Blogger with 42 percent are the most popular platforms for social media content sharing. The surprise element in this space is Typepad, which is never used.
