    Another Trojan horse for wordpress.org users to become dependent on the wordpress.com infrastructure? There’s no end to it is there? I hope the “jetpack” is not as lame as the stats plugin.

      Looks like another device to boost wordpress.com signups, yes; take a happy .org user and tell them they need an account at your site to access cool new features. Remember when a wordpress.com account was required to use Akismet? That did a decent job of inflating user numbers when they needed it. Maybe they’re seeking another round of funding.

    I agree with the above 2 comments.
    I would use it if they added facebook/twitter
    connect/commenting functionality, since the current set of
    facebook and twitter connect plugins do not work!
    but otherwise I agree with the above 2 comments.
    The thing that still gets me about WP is they still insist
    on having user accounts inside individual blogs.
    I NEVER make a comment on WP blogs that require
    registration, who wants to sign up for blogs all day long?
    it would be different if they supported wordpress.com registrations least then your not registering for new blogs all day long. why not just support wordpress.com, twitter, and facebook that people already have? either that or get the current 3rd party fb/twitter plugins working. otherwise there’s no use in even commenting at all, and that would definitely take care of the SPAM problem

    I’m not sure about the other wordpress users. but since using this plugin, my blog’s statistics can not appear because of problems with the API key.

      That seems to be a common problem- I’m getting it as well, and many people have posted about it on the .org support forum.

    I started using it today.
    Do you know what other Jetpack features are planned in the soon future?

    I like the existing 8 features but would like to see a few more…
    thanks

    A quick glance at the source code shows that it replaces (and most likely integrates) the following Automattic plugins:

    WordPress.com Stats
    Sharedaddy
    Wickett Twitter Widget
    After The Deadline
