Right now WordPress 3.3 (well, 3.3.2) is the most recent version of WordPress. However we’re nearing the end of that time as WordPress 3.4 approaches.

What better time to take a fun look at some download numbers?

WordPress 3.3 “Sonny” was released on December 12, 2011, just 183 days ago. So far 3.3 has been downloaded over 21 million times, or an average of 115,000 every day.

It’s easy to get desensitized to these big numbers over time, but really: these are big numbers, aren’t they?

With WordPress 3.4 RC3 out now, it’s probably only a couple of days before we see the full release available. Are you ready for a big WordPress update?
