I mean just look at haiku, the idea of it. We want to focus on that singularity, on that simplicity, but we still want to add features and add value, but we want to do it in a way that fits in with that mentality of simplicity. You have to spend a lot of time thinking about it.

There are a lot of sources of information out there, so why don't you curate for yourself a list, like a real timeline of information, like the New York Times, or JetBlue, or your friends, or this comedian, or this guy who pretends to be a cat, or whatever it is, whatever entertains you, whatever you find useful.

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.

Creativity is a renewable resource.
Biz Stone
When you think about Twitter, there are people all around the world reporting twenty-four seven, every second. They're reporting what they're seeing and what's happening around them. So there's a lot of potential for breaking news.
Biz Stone
Success isn´t guaranteed, but failure is certain if you aren´t truly emotionally invested in your work.
Biz Stone
I haven't been paying attention to politics long enough to have really smart opinions.
Biz Stone
Embrace your constraints. They are provocative. They are challenging. They wake you up. They make you more creative. They make you better.
Biz Stone
People are watching TV, they're watching some clips on their iPhone. I mean, some folks are sitting there on the iPhone, watching the Colbert Report, and meanwhile there's a huge plasma TV right in front of them that they could be watching it on.
Biz Stone
Inventing your dream is the first and biggest step toward making it come true.
Biz Stone
We did Twitter, and Twitter grew so fast, and in 2006 we spun it out into Twitter, Inc.
Biz Stone
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.
Biz Stone
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.
