At its core, Twitter is a “recipient-driven medium,” said CEO Evan Williams. Williams, an unusually theoretical CEO, compared Twitter to email, where information overload can be incapacitating. “The problem with email is that it’s sender-driven, and sender-driven media doesn’t scale,” he said. Blogging (Williams was previously the founder of Blogger) and Tweeting can be different (and better) than email, he said, because people who have something to say can find their audience. That’s a much better situation for both the publisher of the information and the consumer of it. So recipient-based media can scale better “in a world of infinite information,” he said. - Adam Kazwell

There are many things that can get in the way of the things we should be creating. We want to design a website or build an application but if our own toolset doesn’t match up to the perceived skillset we never start. It doesn’t help that the internet gives us nearly limitless exposure to amazing work. It’s easy to feel inadequate when you compare yourself to the very best, but even they weren’t born with those skills and they wouldn’t have them if they never started. Don’t worry about the skills you do/don't have, you don’t need any of them to start. Go as far as you can with the skills and tools that you have. The most important thing is simply to start. http://37signals.com/svn... - Adam Kazwell
