  • I change jobs every 3 months

    As soon as I took on the job of CEO for the world's weirdest cat site in 2007, the focus hasn't been about growth — in fact, I'd go as far as saying focusing on growth can have the opposite effect of what's desired. The focus of my job has been on reinvention. Let's take a look at my "career" at the Cheezburger Network: Sep. 2007: That idiot who quit his job to run a cat picture site. (Staff count:...

Son of a Tweet?

If you can’t beat’em, rename’em.

I love TwitPic. It’s a simple, useful service with a real nice guy founder (@noaheverett).

When we acquired TwittyPic, we felt the same way about it. The two services are unrelated, but when TwitPic began to really take off, we wanted to make sure that our service wouldn’t cause confusion, or vice versa.

So we took the opportunity to change the name of the site to: SonOfATweet.com. You read that right: Son Of A Tweet. Same great service, new funny name.

Yes, it’s unusual. It’s weird. And that’s just the way you’re likely to remember it.
