Matt Mullenweg is the creator of a few things. One of those things is WordPress which we are using to write and view all of these blogs. When he was a freshman in college at the university of Houston he co-created the company. He co-founded the Global Multimedia Protocols Group. With fellow WordPress developers, they created Ping-O-Ma
tic, Which notifies blog search engines like Technorati when there are updates to blogs. Later that year he would drop out of college and work for CNET. He is older now but he was a very young guy when he started his career as an entrepreneur. This story is pretty cool because he did this all in college. He was 19 and a freshman and he was creating a company with a successful product behind it. When I see examples of people innovating and creating a life for themselves so young it really makes me feel like I am behind. I think using him as an example is also super cool because I am using his platform he created to make a blog post. He has gone on to do more things and excel at them. Mullenweg eventually quit his job with CNET to create his own company. Automattic is the company that Mullenweg created after leaving CNET. Automattic is an internet company that has several smaller companies underneath it including WordPress. Mullenweg is a innovative person and his story makes a person like me want to innovate.
