Evan Williams of Odeo gives out his Ten Rules for Web Startups.

It’s a very wise list, and it seems like a lot of startups I’m seeing right now are doing a pretty good job of following the list. Imagine, people might actually be smarter after dot-com bubble experiences! I think #1, #8, and #9 on his list are the most important in my eyes.

Williams is a good guy to listen to, he was one of the founders of Pyra which made Blogger and was acquired by Google. Now he has a good thing going with Odeo.
