In 2013, WordPress celebrated its 10th birthday, and so did Google AdSense. You surely knew that, right? After all, almost one fifth of all websites in the world run WordPress; and AdSense is used by 14.9% of all websites and in the subject of market share, it represents 75.6% — […]
Original press release from Linden Lab. No need to comment; maybe, if we go viral with this, the media wakes up after 6 years of slumber and goes “wow! how could we have missed this massive growth?”

Over six years ago, I designed my own web-based vendor shopping software, before these became popular (mostly thanks to the original SLEX, which was renamed as XStreetSL, and later became SL Marketplace).
