USA Colleges, even basic* .com services are not free long ago — Automattic Inc. serves google ads quietly placing it on the content generated by its userbase.

call it ‘ad-sponsored’ or whatever, just not “free”.

The only worry I have is the amount of influence that the money men might have on future directions. Such a large amount of money would suggest they have a lot to lose, and will want to protect their investment.

[...] Well I seen this note the other day and was amazed at just how much they just received with their last round of funds. $29.5 million! Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, just secured a $29.5 million B round of financing. Congrats to Matt, Toni, and everyone else at Automattic. $29.5 million is a monster round, considering that Automattic has so far grown by sipping daintily on a $1.2 million first round secured in 2006. I can’t wait to see what is next. Really interesting to me is that with this round the New York Times joins their investors. One word for that: adaptation. The line between old media and new media blurs further. - jump [...]
