More quotes by Biz Stone
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
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
Even the simplest tools can empower people to do great things.
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.
Biz Stone
Positive culture comes from being mindful, and respecting your coworkers, and being empathetic.
Biz Stone
I haven't been paying attention to politics long enough to have really smart opinions.
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
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.
Biz Stone
Inventing your dream is the first and biggest step toward making it come true.
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.
Biz Stone
In order to succeed spectacularly you have to be willing to fail spectacularly.

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
People first. Technology second.
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
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.
Biz Stone
If people are passionate about your product, whether it's because they're hating or loving it, those are both good scenarios.
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.
Biz Stone
We did Twitter, and Twitter grew so fast, and in 2006 we spun it out into Twitter, Inc.
Biz Stone
Embrace your constraints.
