Just Google “Matt” and you’ll know why he rocks. Yeah, if you use WordPress like millions of other bloggers, it’s obvious that you know Matt Mullenweg, the founding developer of the WordPress blogging platform, and even if you don’t, Matt still needs no introduction. Matt is our Cool Geek of this Week, a title which apparently would be considered inherent as he’s already wearing the crown of being among Business Week’s 25 most influential people on the web. Matt was associated with CNet Networks before starting Automattic, and bringing in Wordpress, Gravatar, Akismet, IntenseDebate, bbPress and BuddyPress under its umbrella. He is also associated with Sphere, WeGame, Rescuetime and Foodzie.

Did you see the page that shows all the Wordpress company workers? Holy cow: Overweight dorky computer nerds, all. Wordpress is awesome though.
Matt, will Twitter outshine blogging?
If we consider social news in the current user generated scenario, Matt, do you agree that there has been a decline of standards in publishing? Where it will take us? What about identity crisis?
Social media is considered as yet another way of marketing. Matt, do you agree? Also, please tell me about its scope as perceived by you.
Is Facebook the new Google?
Matt in case of WordPress, do you think that an average user is satisfied? What more you think needs to be done, I mean, the scope and possibilities you perceive? And, what about Internet as a whole – is it able to satisfy an average user’s appetite for discovery?
Matt, with the additions of Gravatar and IntenseDebate to the Automattic, it seems like you’re focusing on the community that a blog forms as much as the blog itself. Do you think micro-publishing services, like Twitter, will continue to change the way we think of community, or will there always be a place for niche, blog-focused communities?
Twitter will definitely kill blogging, its just a matter of time!
Guys, questions are closed now. Waiting answers from Matt.
