I’m excited to be attending WordCamp Jerusalem this Sunday. Check out the lovely sidebar graphic on this blog 😉
I attended WordCamp Tel-Aviv nearly two years ago, and happy to be back in Israel again for this event.
Our company Automattic will be well represented at this WordCamp — myself, Barry, Yoav, and Matt will all be speaking at this event, and Ran will be attending as well.
A couple of my quick thoughts that were part of Zach Miller’s new ebook companion to his recent book: TradeStream.
The rise of independent publishers through blogging tools such as WordPress has been profound for the investor community. With the integration of RSSCloud, PuSH, Twitter, and Facebook — blogs are now part of the real-time stream and are playing an ever large role in the day-to-day of the investors. I’ve seen firsthand two major trends that were previously unthinkable and nearly impossible to pull off.

A winning combo 😉
I was on a podcast last week with Adrian Dayton speaking with his audience about how lawyers are adopting WordPress, best practices around securing your WordPress, integrating Twitter, using mobile apps, and a bit about our VideoPress.com service.
Thanks Adrian and your guests for a great discussion and the podcast mp3 is now available on adriandayton.com.
I’ll be at WordCamp SF this weekend, and just added a beautifully designed “I am Attending WordCamp San Francisco 2010” badge to the right side of my blog:
If you want your own, head over to the official Badges page to see the various sizes and styles.
Very excited about our announcement of VaultPress which is currently in private beta:
“The vision of VaultPress is to ensure that blogs and sites under its care are always completely secure, regardless of what happens. Today, this means every bit of content will be safe, from plugins and themes to the smallest comment or post revision, with WordPress-aware, real-time, multi-cloud backups. This is some of the most advanced technology I’ve seen interact with WordPress.
In the future, if your site is tampered with in any way, we’ll know within minutes and can take appropriate steps. The VaultPress core engine will be able to protect you against zero-day security vulnerabilities by updating your blog with hot-fixes, even while you sleep.”

Can’t believe how many people, companies, and organizations still require you to fax something. In fact, the more important, expensive, or “official” a transaction is – the higher the likelihood that a fax will be involved. You can use eFax or send scanned PDFs, but the reality is that you may find yourself faxing in a document for a big contract, or a real estate transaction.
It’s been 9+ years plus since Bill Clinton “used a smart card … to sign the digital signatures bill into law … ushering in a revolution of the digital kind.”
What do you guys think ? And what exactly is keeping this fax thing around ? Is it legal reasons, old habits, or a lack of trust for digital documents ? Quick poll below:
