Evan Williams and Odeo

He may not know it, but Evan Williams is one of my personal heroes. He started an internet company (Blogger), promoted it on a shoestring, was pivotal in creating a society-altering phenomenon (blogging), and cashed out big (Blogger got bought by Google).

Now, it seems, he’s wagering on Podcasting as the next big thing, with a company called Odeo. I just love seeing these “stealth mode” placeholder sites again. It reminds me of my own company, circa 5 years ago.
