As a WordPress enthusiast, I find this interview one of the best of WordPress related interview. It’s very right on the spot and inspiring too.

Here is the breakdown:

Memeburn asked Matt how WordPress became the dominant CMS and Matt said it is because people have found themselves empowered to create beautiful blogs and websites without having to learn a ton of technology. Which I have to agree, without a doubt, WordPress allows you to create elegant blogs with ease and speed. Matt also mentioned that WordPress is currently supporting 10% to 12% of the entire webpages in the internet. This surprises me for it would be mean hundred of millions of web pages but this is right. Even top sites such as techcrunch uses WordPress as its platform. WordPress is not only for blogs anymore but it can be a platform even for enterprise purposes.

Another important update Matt mentioned in the interview is that support of WordPress with the new HTML 5 browsers. WordPress will be having faster and better interface suited for HTML 5 and I am seeing it in the new update of WordPress. The interface has  wider screen for writing and a collapsible menu too.

But my favorite parts of the interview where the quotes that Matt mentioned and it just stuck in my head. It is also the prime reason why I am writing this blog instead of some tips and tutorials about domain registration. I just wanted people to get inspired by these two quotes from Matt Mullenweg.

The benefit to the world of everyone having a potential voice outweighs the folks who might misuse that freedom.

It’s good to build for yourself first, because in the worst-case scenario where no one else likes it, at least you will.

This is so true. Especially in the Open Source community. WordPress started as a humble and small CMS and now it is used by millions and provided the perfect platform for bloggers, enterprise and those doing online businesses.

Matt is one of my idols in the tech industry. It is not because he has  a multi-million dollar industry but because of his contributions in the internet industry through a simple platform called WordPress.
