Creativity is a renewable resource.
Biz Stone

Creativity is a renewable resource. Challenge yourself every day. Be as creative as you like, as often as you want, because you can never run out. Experience and curiosity drive us to make unexpected, offbeat connections. It is these nonlinear steps that often lead to the greatest work.

I don't think of Twitter as a social network. I think of it as a messaging system that has a lot of social components to it.
Biz Stone
Investors are employees you can never hire. We made sure to pick investors that thought like us.

The reason I really started running was for meditative purposes. I would pick some problem to have in my head while running.
Biz Stone
We did Twitter, and Twitter grew so fast, and in 2006 we spun it out into Twitter, Inc.
Biz Stone
Twitter provides a great amount of timely information, but we still need those people to fill out the rest of the story and the context.
Biz Stone
Even the simplest tools can empower people to do great things.
Biz Stone
I think we definitely want to focus on the simplicity aspect because it's something that's built into the culture even here at Twitter. Constraints inspire creativity.

There's a lot of social input when you put these things out there. People's ideas cross with other people's thoughts.
