Although Wordpress 3 was only released less than 2 months ago, there is already a point release - 3.0.1

According to the official announcement this is a maintenance release
There are several reports of hackers launching a very "charming" site that offers an alternative version of the wordpress code (ie. you really do not want their version!)

The site appears to be offline at present, but you can read more about it on CrunchGear

Moral of the story - be careful what you type into your address bar!

Zemanta is one of those little browser addons that is incredibly useful and addictive.

I started using it a few months ago on one or two of my personal blogs, but I'm now using it on some of the company ones as well (where appropriate - obviously).

The plugin is compatible with Firefox (and derivatives) and Internet Explorer, while integration with several of the more popular blogging systems is provided.

They're currently running a survey seeking feedback from users. Unlike a lot of surveys they've kept it short and sweet.

Darren Rowse mentioned a very interesting online tool for FeedBurner users the other day - Feed Analysis

While FeedBurner's internal reporting can give you your basic subscriber data the Feed Analysis tool does some interesting things with it, such as showing how many new subscribers you've gained during a month, which days are your weakest / strongest and how many subscriber you might end up with.

If you've got 5 minutes to spare it's fun to play with it!
