If you were building a real-time game like one of Zynga's games, the WordPress model wouldn't work well for that.
From Matt Mullenweg
Automattic's mission has always been very aligned with WordPress itself, which is to democratise publishing.
Simplicity can have a negative impact when it's the crude reduction of nuances beyond appreciation: a Matisse presented as a 16-color GIF.
It's good to work for someone else. Because then you appreciate it more when you are an entrepreneur.
My job is such that I get to run new things every day, and I get to run new markets and new technologies. I enjoy that quite a bit.
Twitter is the ultimate service for the mobile age - its simplification and constraint of the publishing medium to 140 characters is perfectly complementary to a mobile experience.
The more money Automattic makes, the more we invest into Free and Open Source software that belongs to everybody and services to make that software sing.
I'm really good at making software for publishing.
There's something very real about helping someone one-on-one.
In every aspect of life, I consider myself incredibly fortunate.
