Fast Company interviews Twitter Co-founder Ev Williams about how this hot new business started and evolved.
Ev Williams’ first hit business, Blogger, was a side project. Blogger quickly grew into the most popular blogging platform and was acquired by Google. Four years ago Ev was involved with a company called Odeo and that generated another now-famous, fast-growing side project, Twitter.
This interview reveals a bit more about the phenomenon called Twitter.
This excerpt from the interview explains why Evan is excited.
Q: What do you think the future will hold for Twitter?
A: We really believe Twitter is potentially massive in terms of its impact on millions and millions of people. I believe it’s bigger than anything I’ve ever worked on. We have high hopes for it. We’re not looking to sell it anytime soon. We’re just looking to execute right now and get it to as many people as possible. I don’t know what that number is, but I think it’s as big as the biggest Internet successes out there today. The more I work on it, the more I see opportunity.

Evan Williams and Meg Hourihan co-founded Pyra Labs to make project management software. A note-taking feature spun off as Blogger, one of the first web applications for creating and managing blogs. Williams invented the term "blogger" and was instrumental in the popularization of the term "blog." Pyra survived despite the departure of Hourihan and other employees, and was eventually acquired by Google on February 17, 2003.Williams was born on a soybean
wireless internet, corn and cattle farm near Clarks, Nebraska, where he attended public school. He attended the University of Nebraska, but he never declared a major, and eventually
dsl dropped out. In the years that followed, Williams drifted around the country - Key West, Dallas, Austin - working various technology jobs and trying to pursue start-ups.

Twitter will become the new Google, Google will become Microsoft, and Microsoft will become our new religion. Hail Bill Gates.
