Career

After leaving Industrial Light and Magic, Glass worked on several projects with Marc Canter, founder of MacroMind which later became Macromedia, birthplace of the Shockwave multimedia platform.

He later developed an app that allowed a user to enter an audio blog entry from a remote cell phone location. His small start-up, known as AudBlog, was eventually folded into a partnership with Evan Williams, of Blogger.com. The duo then created Odeo, a podcasting company.

In 2006, while with Odeo, Glass helped to create and develop the seed idea for what would eventually become known as Twitter. Not only was he the prime motivating force leading to its eventual development, Glass is acknowledged as being responsible for coining the name "Twitter", which began as the abbreviated version, "Twttr". In the book, Hatching Twitter, by Nick Bilton, Glass is given credit as being a Twitter co-founder,[2] having helped realize the idea, and designing some of its core features.[3][4]

Since leaving Odeo, Glass has been the founder and CEO of Olo, an online ordering platform for restaurants.[5] Glass is also a Founder Partner at Founding Collective,[6] a seed stage venture capital firm, and serves on the Board of Directors of Share Our Strength.[7]
