Blogger: About Us: "Blogger was started by a tiny company in San Francisco called Pyra Labs in August of 1999. This was in the midst of the dot-com boom. But we weren't exactly a VC-funded, party-throwing, foosball-in-the-lobby-playing, free-beer-drinking outfit. (Unless it was other people's free beer.)
We were three friends, funded by doing annoying contract web projects for big companies, trying to make our own grand entrance onto the Internet landscape. What we were originally trying to do doesn't matter so much now. But while doing it, we created Blogger, more or less on a whim, and thought — Hmmm... that's kinda interesting."
"funded by doing annoying contract web projects for big companies"...I love hearing innovators tell about starting something huge, from scratch. All we need is; a little free time to think and plan, a creative mind, a dream and the willingness to press forwards even when things become difficult.- AhMbDvd, Stephen C.
