Instant Findability,
TED video embeds,

reply-by-email for comments, now open to all. A pretty busy month, with more awesome features on the way, plus
WordCamp San Francisco, on May 30.
If you're in town or want a reason to be, be sure to
register soon. We've got a great
speaker line-up, free WordPress schwag to give away, and, of course, a BBQ lunch.

Though we released
comment reply via email late in the month (April 23), you're already making great use of it. 1,029 replies to comments via email just in the final week.
Video uploads using the WordPress player are on the rise, too: 5,290 in April. If you haven't already checked it out, head to
