    Fifteen years ago today, my podcast @twistartups debuted. I left after the first episode, but @Jason has continued the show for nearly 2000 more episodes. What a run!

    This is a very serious accusation, considering how we *actually* treated the people who helped us build Weblogs. Did I miss one of our most important writers when I calculated the bonuses that AOL forbid us to give our bloggers? So I did some digging. Here's what I found.
