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.

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

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.

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.

Creativity is a renewable resource.

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's no such thing as a superhero, but together we can world in a new direction.

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

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

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
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.
Biz Stone
I knew Mac pretty well. I'd used them when I was younger.
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 started out as an artist, and I continue to think of myself as an artist first, and a technologist and entrepreneur after that.
