The Wall Street Journal, not exactly a Gen-Y periodical, had an intriguing article on Twitter's founders today. As per Bill Safire, the nugget is half-way through the column. [I've about decided that in contrast to skimming books where I nearly always start my actual reading with the conclusion (after checking out the endorsements, table of contents, and a flip of the preface), I think I'm just going to begin reading a column in the middle.]
The nugget is in paragraph format containing only one sentence:
As with many Web entrepreneurs, Messrs. Williams and Stone took unconventional paths to success.
I didn't know that web entrepreneurs take unconventional paths to success. Is it really true? And so what if it is true?
In blogging fashion, none of those questions is answered. An opinion with no facts.
FYI: This post is more about how to read a column than what's in the column. Not much of value in the column anyway. But, rule two, if there's money to be made, eventually the Wall Street Journal will get around to writing about it. Like Forbes magazine, it's a capitalist tool. But since I'm a closet capitalist, I read it.
