			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Automattic Inc., <a href="http://photomatt.net/2005/12/20/automattic-beta/">founded by Matt Mullenweg</a>, is the driving force behind <a href="http://www.wordpress.com">Wordpress.com</a> and <a href="http://www.akismet.com/">Akismet</a> (the spam enforcer sitting at the club doors of this website.)</p>
<p>&#8220;This is what I’ve been working on since I left CNET. The site is still just a shell though, a lot more tidying up to do there.&#8221;  Matt has come a <strong>very</strong> long way from where he once started.  Matt now has a very profitable business model that Wordpress.com is wrapped around and is moving in the direction of making acquisitions.</p>
<p>Gathering from what else has been happening on the &#8216;net recently, it seems that making <a href="http://www.ginside.com/buzz/acquisitions/">corporate acquisitions</a> is the latest fad around.</p>
<p>Matt is proud to be boasting a &#8220;three times faster&#8221; loading time already.  We have been planning on moving over to Gravatars soon anyway, but this is just another encouragement to do that.</p>
