WordPress released Stats on Signups, Posting Activity, Pageviews, Embeds and Miscellaneous reports - I heard about this story form CyberNet News. Personally, while I post more to WordPress than Movable Type now (Smartmobs.com and ArtNewYorkCity.com are WordPress 2.0+ blogs), www.WebmetricsGuru.com and www.BigGreenBlog.com are running on Movable Type. I don't really have much experience with WordPress outside of writing blogs that happen to be running on WordPress.
If I had to pick between WordPress and Movable Type, however, I'd pick WordPress because my blog posts are easier to edit. On the other hand, I seem to get more blog spam on my posts, esp in www.Artnewyorkcity.com (but that may have to do more with how the blog is set up - which I don't have anything to do with).
Most of the time, people think of WordPress Stats as a Plugin to WordPress, but it can more than that. Usually, the blog owner would Create WordPress Stats Page by using a stand alone script or by using the WordPress Stats Plugin.
Looking at the WordPress Stats Signups Page there are between new WordPress blogs 4,000 - 6,000 blogs and between 60,000 -80,000 posts per day along with 80,000 to 120,000 comments per day.
WordPress Blogs get between 8,000,000 and 12,000,000 pageviews per day - at least, that is what the WordPress Stats are claiming.
What's more interesting to me is the increasing use of Embedded Video Clips in blogs, and by releasing the WordPress Stats, we can see, on average that Flickr, YouTube, Google Video and PhotoBucket Video Embeds have, for some reason, jumped significantly starting the week on 7/16/07. I wonder why?
I don't know much at WordPress Themes or Avatar Uploads associated with the WordPress Stats, but WordPress provides that information in their stats anyway.
There's also some more WordPress Browser Stats here.
