Fred Wilson at A VC
Jack Dorsey, who came up with the initial idea for Twitter and co-founded the company often talks about his fascination with cities, mass transit, and bike messengers. He says it was this fascination that led to the inspiration for Twitter.
Dennis Crowley, the founder of Dodgeball and Foursquare, shares that fascination. When I first talked to him about Foursquare, he told me that he “tries to build things that make cities easier to use”.
Richard and I are hoping to be Urban Architects with Neighborhoodr.
Being in love with New York City, I’m so glad to see the web start to have a real impact on the local neighborhoods and communities around me.
