- derekdahmer 6y agoSam’s name is the heading of the page, in the title and the domain name. The blog doesn’t have an about page. Twitter is asking you to login because you clicked the “tweet” button to post a tweet linking the article and tweeting requires a twitter account. Sam Altman is the former president of YC.
