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 are a lot of sources of information out there, so why don't you curate for yourself a list, like a real timeline of information, like the New York Times, or JetBlue, or your friends, or this comedian, or this guy who pretends to be a cat, or whatever it is, whatever entertains you, whatever you find useful.
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.
Biz Stone
I think Twitter has brought something totally new to the table.
Biz Stone
Investors are employees you can never hire. We made sure to pick investors that thought like us.
Biz Stone
Embrace your constraints.

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