Cool Friend: Evan Williams / Twitter

The world is full of brilliant, enthusiastic achievers. As an ongoing part of this blog, I hope to introduce you to some of the world's most interesting and successful entrepreneurs.

Today I'm introducing Evan Williams of Twitter.

Evan was one of the co-founders of the Blogger platform that is Google's primary platform today and attracts over 163 million+ users each month.

Today, Evan is the vision behind Twitter - the planet's highest growth micro-blogging / instant messaging service that lets millions of users each day answer the question "What are you doing ?" with a short 140 character response.


As you know Twitter has had incredible success, adoption, venture funding, continued growth and is quickly becoming a defining company of our times. Here are some deeper links to connect more with Evan and Twitter:
