			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At launch, Twitter&#8217;s story wasn&#8217;t very compelling.  The site let you post what you were doing in 140 characters or less.  Definitely not disruptive.</p>
<p>But 10 months later or so <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/best_web_littleco_of_2007_twitter.php">Richard is naming them best little web co of &#8216;07</a>.  He even specifically calls them out as one of the few disruptive technologies of the year.</p>
<p>So what changed?  Well, the idea caught on, it evolved, and it scaled.</p>
<p>We get so many inquiries from entrepreneurs looking to launch <em>disruptive</em> ideas that I get excited any time a prospect says they aren&#8217;t sure what to expect at launch, or, better yet, that they aren&#8217;t even worried about the initial reception.</p>
<p>Disruption almost never occurs at launch, and forecasting it is impossible.  (Odds improve w/ Steve Jobs on staff.)</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t let that stop you.  <a href="http://foundread.com/2007/12/05/debuting-foundwatch-the-art-of-the-startlet-with-guy-kawasaki/">Consider launching light.</a>  Think beyond launch.  Let your idea evolve.  Help it scale.  Work <em>toward</em> disruption.</p>
