I was just over at ArsTech­nica, check­ing up on the lastest news and noticed in their
Look­ing back at 2004 arti­cle that WP had been declared the Web app of the year. Way to go Word­Press devs!

Web appli­ca­tion of the year

We asked forum­go­ers to choose the best web appli­ca­tion or devel­op­ment frame­work of the year.

Web-based appli­ca­tions pro­vide inter­ac­tion for all users regard­less of plat­form or loca­tion. If you can con­nect to the web, you can use it. Forums, blogs, admin­is­tra­tion tools, col­lab­o­ra­tion frame­works; there were many excel­lent options to choose from in 2004.

Win­ner: Word­Press

Let’s face it. Blogs are in fash­ion, and why not? Van­ity knows no bounds, and there are some peo­ple who actu­ally do some­thing pro­duc­tive with theirs. From the influ­ence of blogs on the cov­er­age of the US pres­i­den­tial elec­tions to every ran­dom teenager who has prob­lems with their partner/parent/teacher/cat, blogs are out there allow­ing your most inti­mate feel­ings to be shared with ran­dom peo­ple at wifi hotspots. Word­Press is the most promi­nent ris­ing star of weblog soft­ware, com­pletely free and with a large and active com­mu­nity. Styles, plu­g­ins and hacks are read­ily avail­able, with prob­lems such as com­ment spam­ming being addressed far more rapidly than com­pet­ing applications.
