SiliconBeat has a good article on the launch of Automattic and the Yahoo deal. We also ended up in Infoworld. Scott Gatz wrote a bit about the Yahoo deal, saying “The Hosting team also did a similar deal with Moveable Type last week, so if you prefer that, its just as easy. (although I personally prefer the simplicity and extensibility of WordPress).” ¶

Congrats Matt, that’s a good push for Automattic. I look forward forward to seeing what prospectives come of this and what the future of Wordpress has.
