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.

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.

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.

I've seen people twitter in haiku only.
Biz Stone

Inventing your dream is the first and biggest step toward making it come true.
Biz Stone

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.

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.

We did Twitter, and Twitter grew so fast, and in 2006 we spun it out into Twitter, Inc.

Even the simplest tools can empower people to do great things.

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

The normal press cycle is to put a company on a pedestal and then knock it down. It's much more interesting that way.

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.
Biz Stone
Image
Embrace your constraints. They are provocative. They are challenging. They wake you up. They make you more creative. They make you better.

With Twitter, it's as easy to unfollow as it is to follow.

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.

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.

I think Twitter has brought something totally new to the table.
