I know - it’s pretty fashionable to bitch about Twitter. But here’s a really nice, interesting article about Twitter and its maker Evan Williams. Here’s an interesting quote:

While he was trying to come up with a strategy for Odeo, Williams was processing the lessons of the past few years. In the fall of 2005, he wrote what he calls “my best blog post ever.” It was called “Ten Rules for Web Startups,” and it has since become something of an Internet classic. (Google the title and you’ll get more than a thousand results, nearly all of which point to Williams’s post.) The lessons were lifted from his experience at Blogger, particularly the first one, “Be Narrow,” which urged entrepreneurs to “Focus on the smallest possible problem you could solve that would be potentially useful.” Other lessons were “Be Tiny,” “Be Picky,” and “Be Self-Centered,” which discussed the importance of company founders using their own products.

I know - it’s yet another 6 page-long article and nobody has time for that. But it’s great, inspirational food for thought. So go ahead - read it.
