Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg on what’s next for Tumblr

The Vergecast: I want to create a place on the web, which is fun and supportive and substantial. You’re an old-school web user. At one point, blogging had a real magic to it. A frisson. You’d have blog rolls and links and people would follow and comment and you’d keep up with things and it […]
