Matt Mullenweg reveals future of Wordpress - Part 2

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Part two of a great conversation with Matt Mullenweg. When I visited the US Capitol and walked into the Speaker of the House’s office I saw Nancy Pelosi’s PR person using Wordpress. Now THAT is publishing power and gives you an idea of why Wordpress is so important to the world. Here I talk with Matt Mullenweg, founder of Automattic, the company that both holds his name as well as produces Wordpress. We talk about the future of Wordpress because they are about to release a new version.

Great rapport and a very nice interview, thanks!

Quick question: Who is the artist and what is the name of the song in the opening music?

That is some fine blues guitar...

Thanks again!

As a long-time Wordpress user I really enjoyed both parts of this interview with Matt. Kudos to Scobleizer for an interesting interview that held my attention from start to finish!

Robert,

Great interview! But the audio levels are really low on this.

"Now THAT is publishing power and gives you an idea of why Wordpress is so important to the world."

Or, THAT is 'brand awareness' and 'word-of-mouth' power I would suggest.

No offense, but some of the more nimble blogging add-ons/features of other services are stepping far ahead in terms of user control. Hard to keep innovating, etc etc.
