Given that context, one could easily argue that the Wordpress switch is 
more interesting in the way of actual server usage than Lighty being 
used for parking domains..

I agree these are all statistics, and have to be taken as such, but I 
personally think that hosting a huge number of blogs on a server tells 
me more about the capabilities than serving a lot of one page static 
html sites :P

Next up will have to be beating out the "Unknown" spot (some ~5 million 
sites)!

Cheers!
