Automattic the company which creates the popular blogging platform WordPress have acquired Plinky [1], a service which provides a prompt like a question or a challenge and asks users to type in an answer.
Plinky has been integrated into WordPress.com and will allow users to post answers to the questions or challenges to their blog along with offering integration with other social networking services like Twitter [2] and Facebook [3].
Blogger’s Block basically happens when someone gets stuck for ideas and cannot write for a small period of time. With the help of Plinky users can continue to answer small questions or challenges which in turn will help them recover from a Blogger’s Block. More information on the acquisition can be found here [4].
