In what is being considered one of the more interesting conversations at Le Web this year according to what I’ve read on Twitter, Om Malik And Matt Mullenweg discussed a number of things revolving around WordPress. While there were a number of tidbits to take away from their conversation, my favorite is Matt’s comments regarding the mobile usage of WordPress.
Mobile is giving us a chance to re-imagine the interface of WordPress from the ground up
To follow that statement, Matt also said that Automattic currently has more employees working on the various mobile applications versus the core of WordPress.
I was in the audience, it was definitely one of the best talks at LeWeb.
For me, the most interesting part was when Matt talked about how the purpose of WP has developed since its inception and how its potential as an application platform will characterize the next few years.
