WordPress 2.8 Released

Just noticed that WordPress 2.8 has been officially released (was running RC2 on GrassrootsPA.com).

The improvement I’m most excited about? The speed enhancements.

Now onto the speculation re: what 2.9 will entail

IntenseDebate Implementing Facebook Connect

WOOHOO!!! I got the chance to help IntenseDebate beta test their first Facebook Connect implementation a month or so ago so I’m thrilled to see them ramping up their efforts again. BTW: the guys over at IntenseDebate have been great to work with when things get confusing or bugs arise with their service.  And who doesn’t like to test-drive new features? Michael Koenig really makes you feel like part of a robust community rather than a faceless user.

If you aren’t running IntenseDebate on your site (especially if its powered by WordPress), I highly recommend you look into it and hit their blog.

Right now Facebook Connect is up and running on GrassrootsPA (I’ll eventually get it up here).

Wordpress MU & WordPress to Merge

No sooner do I begin to dabble in WordPress MU than I find it will ultimately be merging with regular ‘ol WordPress.

With WordPress 2.8 about to be released, speculation is already growing that the merger will take place as early as WordPress 2.9. Or will it be in WordPress 3.0?
