Wordpress 2.3 WooHoo!
Posted September 27th, 2007 by Clint
I just upgraded this blog to v2.3 and I’m very happy about it. I’ve had RC1 running on a blog in development for a couple of weeks and I couldn’t wait to see if what I was seeing there was true.
IT IS.
Wordpress 2.3 appears to make significant improvements in speed. I’d say the load time has improved between 30-40% (although I have no data to back that up), just seems that way to me.
So, thank you Automattic and all you wordpress developers for the new version. I’ve barely peeked under the hood and I’m very, very pleased.
Now, the one, um, oddity that I noticed is that the inbound link module on the Admin dashboard now uses Google Blog Search instead of Technorati. Since Wordpress is quite the juggernaut in the blog platform space, I have to ask…
Is Technorati doomed?
What do you think?

When all WordPress blogs will have been upgraded to 2.3, Technorati will receive a great blow. It’s not doomed in any way, just slapped every now and then. This is the Web behavior in general, and not only Technorati, but all sites are affected by this behavior.
