Matt Mullenweg raises $29 million in Series B round

Wow, this is fantastic news for Automattic, and includes a strategic investment from The New York Times Company. Our bud Om Malik has all the details.

Matt is one of the most genuine, affable, clever people I have had the privilege to meet in Silicon Valley - not to mention one of the cutest! That he was born in 1984 blows my mind. I have used his software - WordPress and Akismet - every day for the last two years or so.
