@MaxZiebell @photomatt @prashant_baldha @WordPress @mikeassad77 And yet, millions of individuals, businesses and orgs. rely on it and the ecosystem that supports and sustains it.

By doing so they are supporting an Open Source project and the free web.

@photomatt @prashant_baldha @WordPress @photomatt it needs marketing too :)

And @mikeassad77 is 100% right.

The project is moving in the right direction with AI. The community is excited. We need to tell that story.

@jdevalk Great resource.

To bookmark and... agentmark, if that's a thing.

@ravisoni6262 "Brand" (not just the logo and design) is...

"... a set of expectations, memories, stories, and relationships that, taken together, account for a consumer’s decision to choose one product or service over another."

@weDevs What's the link to the product istelf?

@vovafeldman But worth trying to reduce the operational burden and focus on authors who are still generating $$$.

I wouldn't be surprised if Elite authors are not affected by the change.

[WP BizDev @wpbizdev]

@vovafeldman Another way to look at this is that they want to shut it down, so making the offer as unappealing as possible.

Growth doesn't get enough airtime in the #WordPress ecosystem.

Three events this season are changing that:

🗓 @atarim_io Web Agency Summit - April 30
🗓 @wpengine Decode - May 6
🗓 @WCEurope - June 5-7

The sessions worth bookmarking 👇

@matchaman11 Expensive too, I suspect!

[WP BizDev @wpbizdev]

@jameswlepage Looks great - they should include biz focused categories too.

[WP BizDev @wpbizdev]

@wpengine 's DE{CODE} 2026 is free, virtual, and worth your time - especially if you run a #WordPress agency trying to track where #AI is taking the enterprise market.

@morganhvidt Yes. The longer you can lock customers in... the better.

@bretwp Design! It's more subtle, of course, but brand identity is set by the choice of typography, sizes, layout, color, etc...

Take @Gazzetta_it, an Italian sports newspaper, famous for being pink :)
