Wordpress (especially hosted) needs to expand & secure their platform. Vulnerabilities are running a muck. Now w/ all their acquisitions & their future plans, there is no clear direction on how they aim to protect their users. This could be a major downfall.

LogLogic is on the right track, but it shouldn’t be just another Norton or McAfee. Let’s get a product that will actually clean the problems of where people are — ONLINE & on Websites.
What does this have to do with Twitter?
