One-to-many IPO spotlights Twitter co-founders Williams, Dorsey

SAN FRANCISCO: Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, who sold blogging platform startup Pyra Labs to Google a decade ago, will cash in anew when the hot one-to-many messaging service hits Wall Street.

While Google didn’t disclose how much it paid to get its hands on Blogger, which fueled what was then a hot trend in online journals called “weblogs,” the deal likely lined the pockets of co-founder Williams and helped him continue on as a “serial entrepreneur.”
