hey man, every person has their own path. garry and sachin went to stanford then worked at big co's before they started posterous, while david karp lived abroad and studied firsthand how people communicate in countries where communication is far more advanced than in the states. posterous and tumblr are both beautifully simple products made for their respective target demo's - posterous for everyone who can read/write, tumblr for every hipster living in LES or williamsburg w/ a fixed gear bike. haha.

also knowing garry and sachin and david karp, they are all product people at heart. they are building products with direct user feedback. i dont know many people who take their customers more seriously, and take more time tweeking and iterating their product than david karp. for someone who hasn't been to college, he is an impressive guy.
