WordPress.com is now WP.com

Yahoo again treats Automattic by giving it much needed wp.com domain. Ma.tt is pretty excited about it.

He was keep playing with this domain the whole day long checking whether the redirection from wp.com pointing to WordPress.com is working fine or not.

Yes it’s true, Automattic is now the proud owner of WP.com, which we acquired from our buddies over at Yahoo! We’ve been using WP.com as internal shorthand for this site for years now, and ever since we figured out four or five years ago that Yahoo had that domain (as opposed to the Washington Post or something) we’ve been doing our best to get it, a journey that culminated in ultimate success a few days ago. (Ma.tt)

It also means bloggers who have their blogs hosted on WordPress.com and having URL like myblog.wordpress.com can now have much easy and simple URL like myblog.wp.com. ( Automattic has not yet confirmed it though)

What should he do with WP.com?

Matt has asked for your answer to put it into the Automattic idea machine and crunch something out at the end.
