Evan Williams describes himself as "an American entrepreneur, originally a farm boy from Nebraska, who's been very lucky in business and life." This statement might be true if he was merely responsible for one giant leap in the Web 2.0 world. However, as someone partly responsible for two monumental jumps forward, one has to conclude that he's being over-modest by attributing his success to luck rather than his capacity for vision, tenacity and good judgment.
I really enjoyed reading this! I signed up in November of last year and now I'm on Twitter all the time. One thing though that made me kind of sad was the possibility in chaning "What are you doing?" to "What's happening?" I like "What are you doing" much better and I don't think it really limits users at all. "What's happening" seems almost too informal in a sense.
