We’re happy to be a launch partner with Facebook on the raft of new social plugins they rolled out today. WordPress powers nearly 17% of the web, and these features should benefit users, publishers, and Facebook alike. Read more via another launch partner, TechCrunch, here, complete with some great Celebuzz screenshots. Kudos to the whole team for pulling together ultra-quickly on this.

Our relationship with WordPress is a longstanding and good one; they helped us get our Twitter handle (there’s a great story there), and we were happy to host the annual WordPress SXSW party at our PureVolume House in Austin this past March. We’re big fans.
