The battle – B2Evolution vs WordPress

Jul 22nd

Posted by Mr.JOSE™ in Internet

Lets start with another history. I was using blogger.com for about 10 months then I switched to my own blog at my free server. I must say that I was am happy with it. Yeah.. coming to the point, as I said I first used blogger (repeat!) in which I just used a theme and some plugins. But when I come to know about blog scripts (so late!) which can be installed on any server with the support of PHP & MySQL I thought I should try it. So I started searcing for free blog scripts.. there are lot of them.. WordPress (heard them every where) & B2Evolution were best among them (I think so?). I chose WordPress because I saw WordPres, WordPress, WordPress… everywhere! :roll:  So downloaded and installed it successfully on my test folder. Installation was quick, I never thought it would be so simple. You just have to enter database details and blog name and stuff. Thats it! you are taken to your administrative dashboard. Somehow I couldnt accept it, I expected more! :-|  (may be due to those sites which praise too much of wordpress stuff). I didn’t tried installing any plugin though (thats where I got wrong!). But I thought I should try B2Evolution before getting involved in WordPress -what if I liked it more than this?

BARELY a tweet is heard from most Twitter members despite the soaring popularity of the micro-blogging service, according to a pair of freshly-released reports.. :roll:

Web analytics firm HubSpot found that nearly 55 per cent of 4.5 million Twitter members monitored have never “tweeted” — fired off concise text messages to others using the micro-blogging service.

More than half of Twitter members have no followers and about 55 per cent of them aren’t following anyone else’s micro-messages, according to a “State of the Twittersphere” report by HubSpot.

Meanwhile, a study by Harvard Business School researchers concluded that 10 per cent of Twitter members account for 90 per cent of tweets.

“A typical Twitter user contributes very rarely,” Harvard MBA student Bill Heil and assistant professor Mikolaj Piskorski said in a university blog post containing the findings.

“Among Twitter users, the median number of lifetime tweets per user is one.”
