2010 was a big year for Blogger. We cemented ourselves as one of the largest blogging platforms and the sixth largest website in the world,
according to Alexa. Blogger users published more than half a billion blog posts, which were read by more than 400 million active readers across the globe. We introduced
template designer,
real-time stats,
comments spam filtering,
mobile templates,
web fonts, and
more. And to top it all off, we were
dubbed the most reliable blogging service around.
2011 promises to be another exciting year.
To start, we’re kicking things off at
SXSW by giving folks a sneak peek at our next-generation user interface. The new design is not only cleaner and more modern, but it also uses
Google Web Toolkit, delivering the latest in web technology.
We’ll also be showcasing our new content discovery feature that lets you uncover interesting and related content based on the topics of the blog you’re currently reading.
These are just a couple of new features we want to share with you. We look forward to unveiling more throughout 2011!
If you’re in Austin for SXSW, be sure to visit us at the Google booth—or come by and enjoy a drink with us tonight at our
annual Blogger bash.
