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.
