BlogSecurity, “a site dedicated to providing useful and critical security information for the blog community”, noted the following today:

BlogSecurity incrementally harvested the WordPress software version from 50 blogs; the results were frightening to say the least.

The following statement was taken from WordPress: None of these [WordPress Versions] are safe to use, except the latest in the 2.0 or 2.1 series, which are both actively maintained.

Pretty powerful stuff. Sounds to me like what is needed is a WordPress hosting service which will help you to keep your WordPress install up-to-date automatically… To ensure your WordPress security by making sure you are always running the latest version and are the 1 and not one of the 49.

Yes, that service will be coming soon… 😉

Yes, I have been hibernating. Working on a couple of new projects and have ignored my blog…

Dusting it off today to make sure you know about my good friend Peter Ejtel’s new startup. Yesterday, SharedReviews.com was made public. From their press release:

Beginning early next month, the site will accept reviews from signed up contributors on any retail product, ranging from baby cribs to cell phones and everything in between. Individuals can visit SharedReviews.com now and sign up to participate in the site’s beta contributor release, earning direct cash incentives for the experiences that they submit.

Their site sums it up as “You share your review, we share our revenue.”

Cheers to Peter and Frank and the rest of their team! Best wishes for a great success!
