On Tuesday February 17 2015 the WordPressNYC meetup hosted George Staphanis, team lead for the Jetpack development team, for an overview of the popular WordPress plugin package – Come Fly With Me: Jetpack and the WordPress.com Cloud. George ran through functionality Jetpack makes available and how it can help you grow and retain your audience, improve page load times, and simplify site administration — while also making it more secure and reliable. including some relatively little known features such as Photon – a free service that caches images in wordpress.com’s CDN.
