Episode 12 - 11/19/2007
Guest: Matt Mullenweg, Developer and Entrepreneur Photo Matt
Background: WordPress Founder
Total Time: 30 minutes
This episode with Matt is a great one whether you are a developer, blogger, or both! But before I get started, let me first apologize for the break in episodes. We had some technical difficulties and one of our interviews didn’t record…twice! Yes, that’s right. Neil Patel talked to me on two separate occasions, and BOTH conversations failed to record. They were great talks so I hope that one day, I have the nerve to ask Neil to do it again!!
Back to my talk with Matt. I got to talk to him after some pretty big events: Blog World Expo, the announcement of the WordPress Theme MarketPlace, and the infamous PR update. Matt also tells us about the future of WordPress! This conversation really does speak for itself; have a listen now!

Great job Sara - really enjoyed that. Thanks Matt!
Too bad the interviews with Neil Patel didn’t turn out. You will have to try again for sure!

@ses5909 - IMHO I think Matt should build a RSS reader into Wordpress. The seperation of blog & RSS reader doesn’t make much sense to me. If the reader is built into your blog then the comments system could be wired up so that my blog can track things automatically for me.
Blogs really would be a conversation then…at present they are more a megaphone.

The more I think about the blog come RSS reader the more sense it makes.
Your blogroll would be your RSS feeds.

@Jack @ The Tech Teapot - I think Google’s Reader is fine. Besides it’s pretty easy to make your own. I made this one for fun - http://www.search-this.com/feeds
