• Quote

  Before working at Twitter, I was at a company called Obvious, which was a company that was formed when we acquired Odeo and Twitter, because Twitter was sort of a side project at Odeo. Before that, I was at Odeo which is a podcasting company, and I had left Google to join Odeo.At Google, I was working on Blogger because I had previously helped start a company called Xanga.com which was a social journaling/web blogging community site. So, I came from the blogging world; like a side step into the podcasting business for a little while, and then from that, worked on Twitter with Jack Dorsey. We recently – in April – spawned Twitter out into its own company.
