Despite the fact that I more or less abandoned Blogger as a publishing platform a couple years ago I still remain a fan of the tool and, more specifically, am thrilled with how it truly revolutionized self-publishing online. Before WordPress.com became open for anyone to use Blogger was the go-to tool if you wanted to start writing online for free. I still use it as an example of where to go if you just want to start goofing around and doing some trial and error experiments.

It’s because I still like Blogger and respect it’s place in the history of online publishing that I wanted to point to Evan Williams, Blogger founder and later the founder of Twitter, and his advice for where Blogger should go from here.
