Mollenweg quit CNET in October 2005 to concentrate on full-time WordPress and related activities[15] and introduced Akismet a few working days later. Meanwhile, in December, he heralded Automtic, the firm behind WordPress.com and Akismet. Automtic hired staff involved in the WordPress development, among them senior development engineer Ryan Boren and WordPress MU creator Donncha O Caoimh.
