Anything I've done that really worked happened because, either by sheer will or a lack of options, I was incredibly focused on one problem.
From Evan Williams
Blogging got the concept of personal publishing, but it didn't really take advantage of the network.
Google started out when the dot-com boom was happening. It grew under the radar of big companies that were competing in but basically ignoring search. Then they were able to really invest during the bust for a long time.
I had a blog for many years. Once you develop your readership on your blog, and you can put something out there or direct traffic or get attention - it's like a super power.
Every time you start a company - and I've started five or six - you have the opportunity to screw up in whole new ways.
I tried to be a ski bum when I stepped away from Twitter, and I wasn't a very good skier.
