In the following 36-minute video, Matt Mullenweg, shares a bit of history from WordPress’ evolution and then looks into its future in this year’s State of the Word address.

A survey was issued to the WordPress community, which resulted in more than 18,000 responses. Of that number, 2,800 make their living through WordPress, and consultants are charging an average of $58 per hour. This year, 22% of newly registered domains are running WordPress.

Towards the midpoint of the conversation, Matt talks about stamping out the Fauxgo (false WordPress logo). If you need to use an official WordPress logo, here is a great variety of official W logos.
