Fresh out of WordCamp San Francisco, Mashable has published an interview they conducted with Matt Mullenweg. Within this interview, Matt talks about the demise of Ning and how BuddyPress is a nice alternative, the WordPress foundation, and how the PressThis bookmarklet will eventually compete with the one Tumblr has. Matt recognizes that there is still some friction between using PressThis and publishing content. Tumblr has mastered this technique and is one of the trademark features of the publishing service. Ever since I’ve stopped using Tumblr, I’ve hoped for the PressThis bookmarklet to mimic the way Tumblr does it. It’s still not there yet. Any idea on how the publishing process from PressThis could be smoother?
Also feel free to play the game of guessing the company that Automattic will acquire next.

In this weeks episode of Press This, the podcast of Joost De Valk, he interviews Mashables CTO Frederick Townes. Quite a bit of the interview is focused around listener submitted questions including one or two of my own. The one question and answer I found interesting is when I asked what the delay time was between there being a new update of WordPress released versus when Mashable upgraded to it. The CTO responded that it was dependent upon what the update was for, bug fix, security, etc. For instance, if it’s a security release, Mashable will upgrade immediately while not so for a bug fix release. Considering the size of Mashable.com, I thought there would be a large time span between the two.
At any rate, catch the entire interview right here.
