TWiST #26 with Matt Mullenweg | This Week in Startups (TWiST) - Using Open Source to Build a Company

Awesome interview with Matt Mullenweg from Wordpress. He make a great argument for open source as a business advantage. Not only has he made a great argument, but he's living it. Wordpress.com, the service built from Wordpress.org has 200+ million unique visitors a month.

Matt is a really laid back guy, and seems to have a solid and stable approach. I have since moved to Django personally, but I'm a big fan of Wordpress if you have to use PHP.

The most interesting thing for me was his discussion of HOW he used the open source community to make incredibly customizable software. Plug-ins baby.
