Evan Williams on the Early Days of Blogger
Everybody left, and the next day, I was the only one who came in the office
Blogger, a project that he had worked on for 2 years was out of money, his cofounder left, he had to lay everyone off and he broke up with his girlfriend.. jesus what a night.
He still came to the office the next day and kept working. For the next year he worked by himself keeping the service alive. A year after that Google acquired the company.
It's crazy how quickly things can change. Startups are like looking for the light switch in a dark room, you could be standing right next to it or be on the other side of the room, you just don't know.
Evan Williams is the CEO of Twitter and one of it's founders.
