When you see Matt Mullenweg, the likeable and confident founding developer of Wordpress, you’d swear he was well into his 30’s. The annoying thing is that he’s just 23.

I don’t know about you, but when I was 23, I wasn’t thinking about world domination. I was just grateful that I’d lost my virginity.

But clearly, young guys like Matt and Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook aren’t normal. Hey, they make the founders of Google look old. They make guys like me look ancient.

I had lunch yesterday with some folks from Six Apart - the guys behind Moveable Type and Typepad (the other blogging software). I’m going to try and interview them before I leave here this weekend.

Wordpress is clearly the market leader - and apparently the preferred option for most bloggers. This blog, for instance, is written using Wordpress. I think it’s a cinch to use. And I have the patience of a 4 year old.

I taped all 50 minutes or so of this session, but only posted the first 10. I’ll load the rest to Google Video - given that YouTube still limits you to 10 minute clips.

If you want the link to the full session, just drop me a note. And I’m keen to chat with Matt before I go - given that we’re sponsoring Wordcamp in Melbourne next weekend.
