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 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.

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.

Lesson number one: opportunity can be manufactured. Yes, you can wait around for the right set of circumstances to fall into place and then leap into action but you can also create those set of circumstances on your own. In so doing, you manufacture your own opportunities. This has helped me immeasurably.

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.

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

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

Investors are employees you can never hire. We made sure to pick investors that thought like us.

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