Automattic, the company that has created WordPress which powers many of the weblogs in the blogosphere today, has just launched a level of enterprise called the Automattic Support Network. According to a recent blog post on Toni Schneider’s blog the support level is in response to customer demand.
I think this is excellent news for companies looking for a blogging platform option with enterprise support - especially since Six Apart also offers a similar support level. However, the blogosphere definitely has room for a few solid blog platform options to coexist in blogospheric harmony.
Thanks to Brian Oberkirch over at Weblog Works for pointing the the WordPress change out. TechCrunch has also posted about the new level of support.
