PollDaddy & Automattic

We’ve (Automattic) made another acquisition that I can talk about now: PollDaddy Goes Automattic. As part of the announcement today for buying PollDaddy there’s a new PollDaddy plugin for WordPress and integration for WordPress.com blogs. Check out the video on that post to see how that works.

For more info check out the announcement on the PollDaddy blog and Toni’s blog.

I’ve had the opportunity to meet Lenny and Eoin while hanging out with the rest of the Automattic crew (which includes the Intense Debate guys) in Colorado. It’s been good to get to meet more of the Automattic group as it continues to grow. Most of Automattic (all the ones in Colorado) are pictured at the bottom of this post.
