More quotes by Biz Stone
You curate information that you want to receive. It's a lot different because I'm not asking you if it's okay, I'm just saying I'm following your updates. That's why I don't think of Twitter as a social network.
Biz Stone
I think of Twitter as a messaging system that you didn't know you needed until you had it. Think about when cell phones first started coming out. People said, Why would I carry my phone around? And now you'll drive back to your house thirty miles if you forget your cell phone.

I knew Mac pretty well. I'd used them when I was younger.

You have to think for an email. What's the subject? What's it about? It takes two seconds to think about that. So you have to think, Is this a work thing or a social thing? Which? Then you get into a situation that you don't want to be in, because then people are thinking about it too much.

The most rewarding thing for me has been this affirmation for me that people are basically good and smart, and if you give them a simple tool that allows them to exhibit that behavior, they'll prove it to you every single day.

Biz Stone
Creativity is a renewable resource.
Biz Stone
In order to succeed spectacularly you have to be willing to fail spectacularly.
Biz Stone
Willingness to take risks is the path to success.
Biz Stone
I haven't been paying attention to politics long enough to have really smart opinions.
Biz Stone
There's no such thing as a superhero, but together we can world in a new direction.
Biz Stone
The normal press cycle is to put a company on a pedestal and then knock it down. It's much more interesting that way.
Biz Stone
I think Twitter has brought something totally new to the table.
Biz Stone
A personal belief is that if you're not personally invested in what you're working on, you'll fail.
Biz Stone
We did Twitter, and Twitter grew so fast, and in 2006 we spun it out into Twitter, Inc.
Biz Stone
Embrace your constraints. They are provocative. They are challenging. They wake you up. They make you more creative. They make you better.
