Stuff happens all the time on WordPress.com. You're blogging, commenting, liking, and following like never before. Every hour a record is broken and someone's day is made. We've always known about your love affair with stats. We like watching numbers grow, too. And we also like to see the events that the numbers represent. We think of Notifications as a magnifier for Stats: you can zoom in to see exactly who did what and then connect with them.
Another great feature from our Data Team
