I’m really excited to sit down and chat with the developer of wpForGlass, a WordPress plugin for publishing via Google Glass.

When the news broke, the first thing that came to my mind was, “Who is Ozzy Farman and this agency Weber Shandwick?”

Why is that important? In my humble opinion, this type of plugin is forward thinking. We’re not talking about another social share plugin or can someone theme the admin better — this is the practice of fusing two great technologies together for the enhancement of publishing.

Why didn’t innovation like this come from one of the “well known” WordPress agencies? Should it have? We’ll learn about that and more in episode 57!

Publishing with WordPress

This isn’t the only foray into fusing technologies with WordPress. John Saddington is doing this with photography and his iOS app Pressgram.

I still feel that we’ve yet to really harness the potential of using WordPress as a publishing platform for individuals and large media organizations alike. WordPress is poised to be the central hub for an individual’s social publishing — not Facebook, not Twitter — your WordPress blog.

You own the data, the traffic and you call the shots. Look for innovative plugins like this to heighten this experience over the next year.
