Twitter co-founder Biz Stone shares the Twitter story during the All-Alumni Reunion Conference at UC berkeley in April.
Quotes from the video:
We were inspired by the way messages on instant message applications like AIM.
Sharing these messages among groups in real-time seemed compelling.
We anticipated a simple form of social networking but a new form of communication
would continue to amaze us as Twitter gained adoption worldwide.
Information can take a very simple form -- Twitter delivers it to a network
of others in a timely fashion and this can have profound impact.
Twitter is about the triumph of humanity, not the triumph of technology.
The MarsPhoenix account was an endearing and famously successful endeavor for
NASA reminiscent of another shared experience --the moon landing.
"Starbuck, Ford and PepsiCo turning to blog site 'Twitter' --FT"
From spontaneous fundraising for charitable giving to platform projects raising
venture capital, innovation and creativity are fueling an ecosystem.
Recognizing the difference between profit and value.
Bringing the real-time network to the weakest of signals around the world
Are the problems of tomorrow bigger than the entrepreneurs of today?
