Launches are tough - Odeo Releases Twttr

Twitter original launch annoucement
Today Odeo released a new product/service/website we call "twitter" (but we spell, Twttr -- ya know, for efficiency). It's a 20% project, if you will, that we—esp.

Out of curiosity, I went to SimplyHired , a vertical search engine for jobs, and looked for openings containing the keyword “evangelist.” Amazingly, there were 611 matches--and none were for churches. It seems that “evangelist” is now a secular, mainstream job title. Indeed, the first eight matches were for evangelist jobs at Microsoft--go figure. As people hit the streets with this title, they need a foundation of the fundamental principles of evangelism. Fulfilling this need is the purpose of today's blog.
