I rarely get interview requests anymore, and usually when I do, it’s because people want to hear about Evan Williams. If you haven’t read this site since 1999, maybe you don’t know that he and I co-founded Blogger together, and that he went on to co-found Twitter. Anyway, last summer I talked to Bloomberg about Ev for a program called “Game Changers”. But there’s quite a bit about the early Blogger days in the show, including some old video footage of us in our offices (and me with short platinum blonde hair!) and some old photos. It was neat to see, and made me kinda sad. Bonus for viewing: you can hear me talk about Ev, kinda like those “Behind the Music” shows where some old band mate no one remembers talks about the guy who went on to become the huge star.

Yikes! I embedded the video and it’s auto-playing. So here’s the link to watch if you’re interested: Bloomberg Game Changers: Twitter.

If there’s some way you read this site but you don’t read my husband’s, you should know that he’s launched a new web app called Stellar. The story is here on kottke.org if you’re interested. I’m totally addicted to the site these days and check it like five times a day. And that’s a lot for me, considering how little time I spend online. Also I have a few invites, so shoot me an email if you’d like one. Also also? I’m so proud of him! He’s been working very hard on it and I’m happy to see it open up to more people. Yay!

Update: All my invites are gone. If/when I get some more, I’ll let you know. And if you’re using the app I’d love to hear your thoughts about it. Feel free to comment here or drop me an email. Thanks!
