   @ev Slideshare founders have also launched a new thing. Rashmi Sinha:

   “Twitter launched in early 2006, SlideShare in late 2006.

   These are what I would call nostalgia builds. An effort to capture the social web that was, for a brief ephemeral moment. And then it became successful, so successful that we lost what we built with the social web.

   We are afraid of failure and losing the things we care about. Sometimes, success makes you lose the thing you care about.” https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rashmisinha_ev-williams-twitter-and-medium-founder-activity-7273409486915039235-mE_e?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios

     Ev Williams ( @ev ) is back with a new startup. As someone of the same vintage as him, I can relate to this:

     “Mr. Williams said he decided Mozi was worth building after reflecting on the importance of relationships. Looking back, he said, “everything that had gone really well, even in work, was about relationships, and everything that went poorly was mismanaging relationships.””
