Twitter Hires Ex-Google Designer

According to this blog article, Twitter has "replaced Facebook as the tech industry's hottest startup."



It’s Official: Twitter Hires Ex-Google Designer Douglas Bowman
By Spencer Ante

Turns out the Web rumors were true for once. In a meeting last Friday afternoon in Twitter’s San Francisco office, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone told me that the company had hired ex-Google Visual Design Lead Douglas Bowman to be the company’s new creative director. Bowman will replace Stone, who was acting as Twitter’s creative director. “The Twitter Web page looks pretty simple,” says Stone. “But from our perspective the design needs a lot of work.”

This is a great hire for Twitter, and more proof that Twitter has replaced Facebook as the tech industry’s hottest startup. Bowman probably could have joined Facebook if he wanted. But the talented designer, who used to work at Wired News, clearly sees a bigger opportunity at Twitter, not only from a design perspective but perhaps from a monetary one as well.

I also wanted to share a great blog that I ran across yesterday:

Christian Personal Finance - How I Make A Living From My Blog

The author, "Bob" (I can't find a last name anywhere on the site) has written a comprehensive, step by step instruction manual for making money from your blog. He learned through experience and mistakes and has been generous enough to share this information with the rest of us at no cost. Stop by and give him a few clicks on his Adsense ads to let him know how much we appreciate it.
