- Ev Williams’s Medium raised $57 million in September — now it’s raised another $50 million Link
今日は調達の話題多いですね。イケイケのMediumがさらに5000万ドル調達です。昨年9月に5700万ドル調達したばかりなので、さすがEV、ベテランは未来が見えています。ていうか本当にEVはBloggerからTwitter（まあ、これはジャック・ドーシーの発明かもですが）Mediumとコンテンツ投稿プラットフォームを3つも成功させるなんてすごいですね。ポッドキャストのOdeoがダメダメだったのはもうこうなるとポッドキャストそのものがダメだったように思えるからさらにすごいです。
