If you have a website, there is a very good chance that it is brought to the web by WordPress. In fact, it is estimated that 14% of the web’s space is comprised of WordPress sites, with WordPress 3.2 having been downloaded over 12.5M times! The highly anticipated 3.3 version is rumored to hit the web early next week. A week too early to attribute to Santa, but here are a few updates we expect to find this holiday season.

The revamped Gmail for desktop is slowly rolling out to users, and like its Google Reader and Gmail app for iOS cousins,

One of the topics I frequently get asked about by customers when they visit SophosLabs, is what do we do about the hoards of legitimate web sites that we see getting hit with malware? How do we go about alerting them to the problem? How can we help to get things cleaned up quickly thereby reducing risk for users?
Sophos customers can take advantage of our WebAlert service, but this is not relevant to non-customers.
Web security is a topic that affects us all. The web has become the predominant way in which malware is delivered nowadays. Thanks to techniques such as black hat search engine optimisation (SEO) or drive-by download attacks, failings in the security of a single site or hosting provider can expose many innocent users to malware. Improving the process by which the bad stuff gets reported and cleaned up is in all of our interests.

Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that allows anyone to edit its entries, says it is losing contributors.
Founder Jimmy Wales says administrators are scrambling to simplify what he called “convoluted” editing templates that may be discouraging people from writing and editing Wikipedia’s entries.
In another effort to encourage volunteers to stay active, Wales says the site has introduced a new feature called WikiLove that lets users post positive feedback.
He was speaking to the Associated Press on Thursday from the website’s annual conference, held this year in Haifa, Israel.
