   If you type “Matt” into the Google search bar, you won’t immediately get results for the actor Matt Damon or the political site owner Matt Drudge, as you might expect.

   Instead, the No. 1 listing points to the site of Matt Mullenweg, the 23-year-old founder of WordPress, the widely used open-source software for blogging.

   I wonder why this is? I wonder if the fact that a significant percentage of that 0.8% still has the default blogroll might possibly be involved.

   0.8% is massive though.

   Does anyone have a link to that survey? All I can find is blogs saying that Matt said it. Oh, and one person who is ever so slightly suspicious.

   I can’t seem to find the google survey either. I believe that the figure is close to 0.8% however I don’t think it paints a clear picture…ie. there are a lot of blogs which are started and then left to rot due to the owner not having the time to update it etc

   Yeah the closest I can find is a survey from December 2005 but it makes no mention of wordpress.

   Still an interesting read though.
