Digital Common Sense

Fred Wilson is one of the VCs I follow pretty closely. He’s usually right on the mark. So I think that means he sees something down the line for Twitter that I just haven’t seen them moving toward. Everything I’ve seen there has stagnated and become pretty boring.

Taking a bite out of the big apple
First, Twitter was a fun side project, then it was cared for lovingly at Obvious until it was time to form Twitter, Inc. Today, we’re excited to announce an important moment for Twitter. We’ve raised funding from our friends in New York City at Union Square Ventures.

From some of his early writing about Twitter we had a hunch Fred Wilson was someone we’d get along with. After we met with Fred and his team, we knew we wanted to work together. As Fred’s written in his post about the news, Twitter is going to use this funding to grow our resources and focus on the important tasks ahead.

Gues I may take another look.
