As per told in TechCruch, Eric Marcoullier founded MyBlogLog with Todd Sampson in January of 2005.
The service went live in March 2005 and was acquired by Yahoo for an estimated $10 million in January 2007.
Eric left Yahoo in July 2007 and is now preparing to launch a new start-up, Gnip, but details are scarce for now. Eric isn’t saying what the new start-up will do other than a hint on the site itself, “Web 2.0 Infrastructure”, and a message that the service will launch in May.
The start-up is already funded, he says, with a $1 million round from Foundry Group and SoftTech VC. Foundry Group’s Brad Feld and SoftTech VC’s Jeff Clavier are joining the board of directors of the company.
