    [...] While at SxSW I got a chance to chat with Sarah of Pop17, a new Rocketboom show. [...]

    Wasn’t it weird talking to a person who build the program you yourself blog on? I think Matt is a great guy, a little different and a lot more outspoken then Six Apart. Great interview.

    How awesome that must of been to interview the guy who is the main influence behind the software you use to blog on a daily basis.

    I enjoyed watching this interview, thanks! :) I hadn’t realised (at the time) that it was a video-recording, and actually this makes it so much better than just a text Q&A! Both people seem really down to earth, and the questions are ones that I’ve been wondering about (albeit only a little) as well.

    @jeffro2pt0 totally. I have known Matt for about a year now and found out some cool things in the interview that I didn’t know before. :-)

    @Boring Market, yes. Actually the first thing I told him was “pop17 is on wordpress” because he already knew I blog at http://sarahmeyers.wordpress.com so I wanted him to know Im all about it. I love Wordpress. Don’t you?

  8. Boring Market March 12th, 2008 at 5:28 pm

    I really do love Wordpress, I use it on my blog to. It’s very easy to use and the support for any fixes or bugs is far greater then other blog platforms.

    Matt seems like a genuine person that just loves what he does. Great interview and can’t wait for the 2.5 release :) Just like @boringmarket said, it is easy to use and the support is phenomenal!

    @phoFuki, you said it!

    I’m surprised that WP is 5 years old already. It’s a great platform. I can’t wait to see how 2.5 will work.
