Evan Williams är mannen bakom www.blogger.com världens största blogsajt.
Williams, a Nebraska native, moved to the Bay Area in 1997 and worked on intranet Web development for O'Reilly & Associates. That liaison would prove fortuitous. Tim O'Reilly, the company's president and an early investor in Pyra, had friends at Google, and in October 2002, he suggested that the two companies meet.
Evan Williams och hans Blogger-team, som idag alltså är en del av Google, har en vision om hur man knyter samman kollaborering med bloggande.
Photos are a very big thing. Using digital cameras will become a core way people publish in general--you can now actually post to Blogger through your camera phone. And with various devices coming out with more and more wireless access, we think mobility will be a big part of the blogging--making notes or recordings from wherever you are.
There's a lot of stuff going on in terms of trying to better define the networks. A key element of Web blogs is the community element. Most blogs are not self-contained; they are highly dependent on linking to each other. That's been a fairly manual progress. There's a lot of effort going on to map who's linking to each other and to define the circles of influence.
Och Blogger har nyligen uppdaterats Idag kan man t.ex. uppdatera sin blog via epost. Eftersom man kan skicka epost från mobiltelefoner så kan man alltså idag blogga från sin telefon.
Evan har givetvis sin egen weblog som absolut är värd att läsas.
Jag är själv övertygad om att bloggar kommer att ersätta Microsofts gamla "desktop"-metafor. Som jag har bloggat om tidigare.
