Career
After leaving Industrial Light & Magic, Glass worked on several projects with Marc Canter, founder of MacroMind which later became Macromedia, birthplace of the Shockwave multimedia platform.[4]
He later developed an app allowing users to enter an audio blog entry from a remote cell phone location. His small start-up, AudBlog, was eventually folded into a partnership with Evan Williams, of Blogger. The duo then created Odeo, a podcasting company.[5][6]
He founded OLO in 2005. The company went public in 2021 at a valuation of $3.6 billion. [3]
In 2006, while with Odeo, Glass helped to create and develop the seed idea for and named the platform Twitter, which began as the abbreviated version, "Twttr".[7] [8] [9]
