We also brought online a new datacenter with Server Beach in San Antonio.
WordPress.com News 
Um, I think I was most of those logins. What can I say? I like to check stats.
Woohoo 3 terabytes a day, thanks for letting us suck that much juice out of the internets!
it makes me really proud of you guys when i look at the footer of one of those HUGE blogs (people, cnn) and see the “powered by WordPress.com” tag. hip hip hooray!
Very good,May it be easy …
Cool stats!!
By my crude calculations there is on average 1 comment made for every post or page. On the most popular blogs there are plenty of comments, but personally I think it would be good to encourage more viewers to comment on less popular blogs, thus increasing their popularity.
Is it possible to make comment writing easier? For example, why not mark which fields are necessary and which are optional when submitting a comment; maybe some viewers are put off by the amount of information requested.
wow, great achievement. Congratulations ! 🙂
Terrific performance in June.
Great really.
Wow,..!
congrats Matt and thanks to the nice guys in back stage!
Alright! Indonesian is in sixth place!
Those are amazing stats. Congratulations.
I’m always impressed that, as well as the WordPress team is doing, they’re always trying to make things better. Kudos.
Nice!
3 TB.. woah.. That’s Quite a lot! 😀
Thanks guys, you’re doing a great job!
Wowww, amazing!!! Thank you WordPress.com!!!

I’d love to find out, how many hits did CNN’s Political Ticker get?
As for the stats, they’re great! Rock on WordPress!
Muchas y buenas noticias a las que tengo que expresar mi satisfacción porque el español sea de los idiomas mas utilizados en los blogs. De ahí mi post en esta gran lengua que nos aúna a tantos millones.
Un saludo y felicidades a toda la comunidad WordPress.
That’s a lot of numbers 🙂 Keep it going…
This stats are awesome…

Hey matt one suggestion i wanna add here is that for the Wordcamp meet, could you please decide to make forum or the post therby sharing the discussion that will take place.
the above request is made as per for the bloggers who are unable to join the party… hope to see the response soon.
Gob Bless WordPress and Matt both…
WordPress Rocks.
i love wordpress
Wow! It’s almost overwhelming! You’re doing wonderful. Please keep record of your successful actions, so you can keep doing them. This way you’ll keep rocketing higher and higher! (To infinite and beyond!!!) 😉
WordPress is just tooooo cool!
Damn!!
Congrats on everything there. Sounds like you’re moving up to the top of the totem pole!
Good on Ya,
TRDQ
Congratulations.
excellent!
Word.
A good deal of data to swallow. Any graphs to help us understand the significance of these data points?
Interesting to know about home page visits. Monitoring our stats, we don’t necessarily see these as separate hits. And now that we don’t see RSS reads, we have very limited data on broader reading habits.
Congratulations on another big month.
So mapped domains account for 29% of pageviews, eh? Care to tell us what % of active wp.com blogs? It’ll be rather lower than 29%, perhaps not even in double figures, methinks.
That’s alot of people.
great 🙂
241 million views thats a lot.
1.7 million posts and 687 thousand new pages . . . humongous!!!!
How much storage space have you used and how much do you have left?
Go ahead Indonesian Blogger
Spanish is the second top languaje.
Oleeeeeee …! 😉
We just keep getting better and better! 🙂
it is very nice!
Copado!!
Somos el segundo idioma mas hablado! 😀
Yay!
Always impressive stats!
Very impressive stats. WordPress rocks. It kicks the ass of those other blogs. Keep kicking ass WordPress, keep kicking.
Incredible! Thanks guys!
This is really BIG…. Excelent achievments!
Portuguese is the 3ª language… Excelent!
Keep the good work!

Awesome.
3 terabytes of bandwidth.

Growing like crazy! Good Job!
Wow! that’s pretty amazing… You guys are doing a superb job!
Really good job guys. When I joined I was skeptical as to how you would go on but you are going from strength to strength with new innovations every month.
I am part of the 13% of mapped users and I love the service.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Suhit
Congratulations! You have been busy!!
WELL DONE GUYS!!!
*smile* you guys are really something! thanx for the wrap-up… so helpful (more postings coming up!)
sweet!!
Good stuff.
I can’t remember what month it was when I joined. lol Well, I created my blog sometime around April – May I think. I created an account about 2 years ago.
Cool! 😀
Just amazing!
Thanks for the tip about Windows Live Writer… it’s AWESOME.
Wow. Very impressive! Congradulations!
I knew I picked WordPress for a reason…you guys are the best…grats on a cool month!
Bravo!! WORDPRESS :-*
I Love wordpress.
Great stuff. Thats a lot of bandwidth being used …
You guys Rock!!!
Keep it up!
Great! The statistics is awesome. Yet, for me the best thing is not the statistics but the user experience. It’s funtastic. I really love it!
I love to post article through Firefox – ScribeFire. That’s much better than WLW and Ecto. How many people using those Firefox – ScribeFire? I wonder…
Congratz! You guys give us the best blogging platform. And free? That’s the best news so far.
Really the WORDPRESS.COM is doing a commendable job at its command. The Walled World is
collapsing and turning into an open Wall-less Gateless World. It’s not just the mere computer to computer connectivity, but the people to people connectivity and interaction, exchange and dissemination of views and visions from the minds and hearts on a timeless global scale that matters. And that job being facilitated by WordPress.com is really heart-opening. Only
live and spontaneous exchange of human minds and thoughts, the triggering of taking and transforming huamanity on a new height of consciouness and awareness on a global scale is possible.
rocks hard
well done guys
thx a lot
Now I know why we can’t advertise on our sites. We’d probably burn down the servers…
Superr…keep up the blogging…
wow!
and there’s still a lot spam to fight 🙂
