WordPress Textpattern merger
April 14th, 2006
WordPress and Textpattern has merged on April 1 2006. That simple line has april fool written all over it. and yet almost 1680Â people around the world downloaded the wordpattern-0.0.0.1 version. :)) Man , thats hilarious . I am amazed how i never noticed this event or news even when it was in my dashboard for so many days.
Both the primary developers of Word Press and TextPattern together played a humorous prank on numerous web blog users worldwide , they even took a domain called wordpattern.org and developed a website / pages around it announcing a new brand of software called WordPattern , which they even rumoured being taken over by Flickr / Yahoo. just reading the about and Features of this new software makes me grin wide. :p
