This is why I love this industry. This guy has created two groundbreaking/historic companies in a decade and now he is stepping up to bat for #3.

I don't know if he will succeed on the next one, or even on the one after that - but I do know that I wouldn't bet against him.

Love/Hate Twitter, have to respect @ev for his contribution to communication, the development of Rails and the evolution of the industry.

Look forward to seeing what comes next.

It seems the folks at twitter want to give @jack a bigger role, especially with @ev gone. However, I wonder if he doesn't want to focus on Square, which seems to be doing great things on it's own.

The development of Rails?

Wrong domain -- it's http://www.obvious.com (and still around)

Ah. Seems he didn't update this post then: http://evhead.com/2006/10/birth-of-obvious-corp_25.asp as it links to obviouscorp.com
