.@photomatt: “I think there’s potential to get to a similar market share as Android, which I believe now has 85% of all handsets. When you think about it, open source has a virtuous cycle of adoption, people building on the platform and more adoption”https://t.co/TQ4d8CmvMO pic.twitter.com/6r5DRyDoMw

“We want every website, whether it’s e-commerce or anything to be powered by WordPress” is a nasty, monopolistic goal. Listening to Matt muse about 85% marketshare dreams is a real downer. But $300m is a down payment on monopoly dreams. https://t.co/hf4HShISug

I think it's time to be open for alteratives to #WordPress. The goal of #OpenSource is not to raise 100s of millions and to aim for 85% marketshare. That's the stupid #InviniteGrowth-thinking that big corporates might have. But I thought we are different.https://t.co/p9Eb5gHtbJ
