Evan Williams buys Odeo

Evan Williams, founder of Blogger and podcast startup Odeo, has launched a new company – Obvious Corp and purchased both Odeo and Twitter from their current investors and shareholders.

As Evan says, he has a business model:

The Obvious model goes something like this:

Build things cheaply and rapidly by keeping teams small and self-organized.

Leverage technology, know-how, and infrastructure across products (but brand them separately, so they’re focused and easy to understand)
