Om Malik's Homage To A Few Blog Software Creators

I just read Giga Omni Media, Inc founder Om Malik's homage to a few blogging platform creators and applaud him for acknowledging them while they are still alive. They helped make blogging popular and accessible. See "How Ev, Dave, The Trotts and Matt Changed my Life."

He's referring to Evan Williams, co-founder of  Pyra Labs, which gave us Blogger; Scripting News proprietor Dave Winer, creator of Radio Userland and other blogging and Internet tools we use; Ben and Mena Trott, co-founders of Six Apart and creators of Movable Type and TypePad; Matt Mullenweg, "founding developer" of WordPress

Om, whose GigaOm blog is a must read for technology news, is currently a WordPress user. My Technology Free Press is a WordPress blog hosted at An Hosting here in Chicago. This blog is on TypePad.
