When Mena Trott and her husband, Ben, started producing software in 2001, they were 23 years old and unemployed casualties of the dotcom crash in San Francisco.
The couple decided to take a few months out. Mena was a recent convert to the then-new blogging (online diary) craze, so she asked Ben to help her produce a better version of her web log — the aptly named Dollarshort.
