Yup, you’ve heard it right, Matt Mullenweg reveals that Wordpress.com has hiked the free upload space from 50 MB to 3GB, an amazing 60x capacity increase. Not only that, you can now upload different files such as PDF, PPT, DOC and many more. And your blog still gets all the bandwidth you can use. So if you are planning to start your own blog, you can have this feature for FREE.

Today, one of those developments comes to fruition — everyone’s free upload space has been increased 60x from 50mb to 3,000mb. To get the same amount of space at our nearest competitor, Typepad, you’d pay at least $300 a year. Blogger only gives you 1GB. We’re doing the same thing for free.

Our hope is that much in the same way Gmail transformed the way people think about email, we’ll give people the freedom to blog rich media without having to worry about how many kilobytes are left in their upload space.

With this latest development, Wordpress “in my own opinion” has become more superior and more powerful blogging platform than its competitors.
