The thing that's interesting to me is both Blogger and Twitter focus on simple, straight-forward human to human communication. Neither are complex or try to solve abstract, confusing problems. By the measure of Blogger and Twitter's popularity, Evan is obviously skillful, regardless of whether or not Twitter is purchased by Google or some other entity. He focuses on an area relevant to all humans, communication. He makes his services easy for everyone to use. He has the foresight to see potential value in something unexplored, and he has the tenacity to work problems long enough for the results to prove if his hunches are right. But perhaps most important he tries over and over, failing more often than he succeeds. That seems to be the real lesson here, it's not that Evan just luckily makes some mistakes and comes out on top, it's that he tries over and over. Success has very little to do with luck, a bit more to do with circumstance and mostly to do with trying, and trying and trying some more.
