[pLog-svn] Fwd: Lifetype development

[Jon Daley]

 	Yes.  I didn't quite catch the name of the site they are 
launching, something like blogchix.  He seems to know what he is talking 
about: definitely on the marketing side of things, but understands a good 
bit of the technical side of things, if not most/everything.
 	He had already decided on wordpress when someone told him to check 
out LifeType.  I think the biggest reason against LT is that we don't have 
currently active sites with lots of users - he said when he was talking to 
the WP guys, they have 1 DB server, and 5 web servers that handle the 500K 
users for wordpress.com.  And we don't have anything like that, as far as 
I know.
