Embrace your constraints. They are provocative. They are challenging. They wake you up. They make you more creative. They make you better.
Biz Stone
There's a lot of social input when you put these things out there. People's ideas cross with other people's thoughts.

I never even graduated college. I never finished learning, as it were, and I have a psychological need to be in a learning environment at all times.

When a plane lands in the Hudson and there's a Twitter user on the ferry taking a picture of it, Boom. That's it. The water is still splashing. Here's the photo of the thing.

We didn't have anything before Twitter that allowed a group of people roaming around a city to communicate instantly, in real time, and in a coordinated way, in a group.
