Scoble Interviews
WordPress
I had the pleasure of chatting with Robert Scoble last week. In addition to him getting me to sign up for FriendFeed, we chatted a bit on camera about social media, the future of blogs, advertising, and of course WordPress.
Here’s part one, at 21 minutes.
Here’s part two, at 17 minutes.
Thanks to Robert for taking the time out to chat, as always it was a pleasure.
These are great interviews! Thanks for sharing.
Good interviews, nice office by the way.

Any news about bbPress.
It seems like for the past year, there was always going to be a 1.0 release “soon”.
Any idea when that bbPress release might be.
Thanks in advance
Great interview thanks for sharing.
Matt, what I like the most is that you are drinking water (not coke, soda, or wine!) during this very informative interview. For me it’s a sign that WP will stay in business for a long time.
Nice talking to you!

Was he just pretending not knowing the export thing?
If you don’t use the feature it’s not that obvious.
Great interview with some really good insights into your company. btw real nice office
Is that the new Automattic world HQ? Swanky!
Come by and check it out.
“When was the last time you clicked on an ad?”
Brilliant.
This is the kind of forward thinking that keeps wordpress so far ahead of the curve.
I really enjoyed the conversation. great information. I’m excited about wordpress 2.7.
I’m still not sold on friendfeed yet, but I’m still working it.

Nice interview! I like Scoble.. haha. I worked 20 hours straight on my new website (using wordpress of course) yesterday.. then I was checking something on wordpress.org and watching your interview..
Well with staring at dual screens for all those hours without a break I thought that snow effect was eye strain or hallucinations, or something.. it was NOT funny
Cheers.. J.
here’s the finished (work in progress) result if anyone is interested:

Any particular reason you’re using Apple lossless as opposed to FLAC? Since in the interview, you specifically talk about data portability for your blog (referring to your friend’s old diary), I don’t see how you can be sold on an Apple-centric codec to store everything in. Don’t forget what Mark Pilgrim and others have taught us about vendor-specific formats.
For example:

I use it because it works natively on my iPod, it embeds metadata correctly, and it seems trivial to convert between lossless formats if need be.
Great stuff. I started listening to the first minute or two and I was hooked.
Nice videos and interviews. The flash quality is excellent. What codecs are you using?
Greetings,
Alejandro from Buenos Aires.
The video is from Fast Company TV, so not sure what they use.
You have an amazing composure in this interview. I can clearly see that you are genius.
Thanks for everything you do.
Great interview, and congrats on the new location – your offices look pretty darn cool! Thanks for sharing, the interview as well as WP
