Fred Wilson who invested in Feedburner and sold it for $100M, and who is an investor in darling Twitter, seems to have his fingerprints all over the news today that Feedburner’s former CEO Dick Costolo has become Twitter’s COO.
It’s a shame, when you think about it, that Google basically paid $100M for Feedburner but hasn’t exactly taken RSS to the next level.
A lot of people view Twitter as the evolution of email lists/newsletter/RSS feeds, and today’s announcement that Costolo is joining the party is only going to increase expectations of great things to come from Twitter.
