"WordPress.com creator\u00A0Automattic has just launched Jetpack 2.0, the latest update to its highly popular plugin which bridges the gap between WordPress.com and\u00A0self-hosted blogs.\r\n\r\nWith todays release, Jetpack\u00A0is also passing the three million download milestone, after reaching two million downloads less than four months ago.\r\n\r\nAs we've previously said, there\u00A0are over\u00A054 million\u00A0WordPress sites in the world, and that number is split between the free WordPress.com service and WordPress.org open source installs. Both options have their benefits, one being self-hosted and completely customizable, and the other much easier to use with free hosting built right in.\u00A0But as WordPress.com grows, the network\u2019s benefits grow too \u2014 benefits that independent WordPress sites normally can\u2019t enjoy, unless they\u2019re using\u00A0Jetpack.\r\nWhat's New\r\nFirst and foremost, Jetpack 2.0 now lets users\u00A0automatically share their blog's content across their social networks. This means that, instead of having to install numerous plugins and integrating with various systems, Jetpack can now serve the role of making WordPress significantly more social. Automattic says this makes WordPress &amp;quot;your true digital hub.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIn addition, Jetpack also brings in a number of new features, including easy support for infinite scrolling, improved photo editing options, the ability to post by email and dozens of bug fixes.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf these new features, coupled with Jetpack's existing capabilities like detailed\u00A0stats, subscriptions,\u00A0contact forms\u00A0and carousel photo galleries,\u00A0pique your interest, you can download the plugin via the link below.\r\n\r\n\u27A4\u00A0Jetpack 2.0\r\n\r\nImage credit:\u00A0Kevork Djansezian / Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
