WordPress Matt Mullenweg Speaks!
http://kara.allthingsd.com/ 20080425/ wordpress-matt-mullenweg-speaks/
This week, I had lunch with one of the nicest young Web entrepreneurs around the scene, WordPress Founder Matt Mullenweg. We use a custom WordPress.com installation for this site, which has worked out well for us, and the start-up also hosts AllThingsD.com. We also got a very nice hoodie. In all seriousness, the company started as an open-source blogging software project at WordPress.org with Mullenweg as founding developer, while WordPress.com is for-profit and is run by Mullenweg and others at a start-up called Automattic. Mullenweg came to San Francisco from his hometown of Houston to work on WordPress and other projects for CNET in 2004.

Reading Rainbow: Episode 3
http://www.samurainet.org/blog/2008/04/27/reading-rainbow-ep...Welcome back boys and girls, I have some great articles for you this week. Political Lobbying,.. the hacker way - An XSS vulnerability in Obama’s website was exploited to redirect visitors to Clinton’s website. Not the most difficult hack of the year by far, but still entertaining. Hackers For Hire - News Corp. has been accused of hiring a hacker to do monetary damage to Dish Network Corp. Interview with Matt Mullenweg - Matt Mullenweg gives his views on the future of WordPress as well as the internet social scene. (The video has alot of background noise, but is worth a watch) Cyber-warfare - Cyber security students entered in the NSA’s competition must defend their networks from the NSA’s top hackers. How green is green? - Is that printer you just bought “green enough” or was it another marketing scam?

WordPress 2.5.1 發佈
http://kirin-lin.idv.tw/2008/04/26/1463/沒想到 WordPress 2.5.1 這麼快就發佈,或許是為了將幾個安全性漏洞及早修正的關係。 本來想自己做個 patch 或者是 changeset 來升級…不過,這真的只是想想而已,最後仍用上傳覆蓋法直接搞定。反正版本號碼只差 0.0.1,連資料庫都沒備份。 另外,凌晨在推特上面得到 Matt 訪問影片的訊息,感謝 cjin,收起來先。大家有空可以去觀賞這段影片〈WordPress’s Matt Mullenweg Speaks!〉。

Matt Mullenweg dice la sua su blog e pubblicità
http://geekmarketing.net/2008/04/25/matt-mullenweg-dice-la-s...A differenza di Zuckerberg, che a giudicarlo dalle interviste video sembra più un timido studente che un imprenditore milionario, Matt Mullenweg (fondatore di WordPress e Automattic) è un dritto. Si muove molto bene, sa quello che dice e sa come dirlo. L’ultima intervista (video) fatta da All Things Digital è molto interessante. Questi i punti salienti. Differenze tra blogging e social-networking: I like our position, because it’s about content, it’s not around photos or people trying to connect to each other. It’s traditional content much the way the media business has operated for a long, long time. Sulla pubblicità: I hope the ad formats evolve to something a little more tasteful, because many of them can be kind of garish and some of them start to feel like the Las Vegas Strip. Sempre sulla pubblicità: I’m thinking about it, but it’s not what I’m most passionate about. (…) Monetization is something we think about, but I don’t think we’ve had any brilliant ideas. Apprezzo in particolare la prima affermazione e l’onestà nell’ultima. P.S. Per gli utenti Wordpress.com sono in arrivo “Possibly Related Posts” in collaborazione con Sphere ed un nuovo tema personalizzabile.
