Automattic launched data.blog to share internal data analysis, and as another marketing opportunity for the new TLD.
Data for Breakfast will feature posts about our data stack, trends in WordPress.com usage, and whatever currently tickles our data fancy. We’re data scientists and engineers with a passion for our craft, and we’re starting this blog to share that passion with you!
