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.

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