I'm currently working on a startup in an only tangentially related field.<p>One line item of my capital plan is to relocate a small blog network I run (<a href="http://ozblogistan.com.au" rel="nofollow">http://ozblogistan.com.au</a>) to WPEngine. There's enough traffic that I'd need the $249/mth plan.<p>That's how badly I want <i>not</i> to be a WP administrator. And how much better I think full time professionals could do it.

I stopped watching very early on. It really bugs me in interviews when the host does too much talking.<p>I hope it balanced out as the video goes on, but if you have a guest on that has valuable information... let them speak.
I just spent about $2000 worth of my time watching this video and it was totally worth it!
P.S. If you don't get that reference, you didn't watch the whole video. ;)
Holy cow. $1M for SUCH a simple concept. Offering reliable WP hosting is about as easy as changing batteries in a smoke detector. Not bitter about this, rather, nicely done capitalizing on such a simple thing.
