From Point A To Point B

Xconomy has written an excellent four page article that goes into detail on how Matt Mullenweg and company went from point A to point B in regards to management and financing. Some interesting things that I picked up from the article include:

• The company who made an acquisition offer to Automattic is still nameless.
• There is an advertising experiment taking place on WordPress.com in the form of niche select WordPress.com pages
• Akismet is Matt’s project that he has managed by himself in his spare time

Those of you who know the history of WordPress may not pick up any new information out of this piece. However, for everyone else, this is a good way to catch up on how Automattic has made it this far.
